Bill Carter can make any subject interesting! I found this to be insightful, thought-provoking, and incredibly well-written, as I have his other two books.

Brilliant autobiography about Bill Carter's experiences in war-strafed Sarajevo at the height of the Bosnian conflict and his success in bringing it to the world's attention with the band U2.

Red Summer: The Danger and Madness of Commercial Salmon Fishing in Alaska
by Bill Carter (Goodreads Author) |

“Grief produces an abundant energy that must find a way to burn itself up. And that is the fundamental problem, one that can take a lifetime to exhaust.”
― Bill Carter, Fools Rush In: A True Story of Love, War, and Redemption
― Bill Carter, Fools Rush In: A True Story of Love, War, and Redemption
“If there was a bad guy we could appeal to the people because , like it or not, we, the huddled masses, want our public figures to be good or bad but rarely allow them to mix the two. Not good an bad. We place people in these categories, which then creates a smooth story-line but also a dichotomy. It's why we like our male movie stars to be either bad boys or heroes, our leading ladies sluts or soccer moms. We like our politicians to be tough guys or saints. What we don't like are any signs of actual humanity, a mixture of the two. So we are left with the question: who is the bad guy? And is the bad guy in control of all that is bad?”
― Bill Carter, Fools Rush In: A True Story of Love, War, and Redemption
― Bill Carter, Fools Rush In: A True Story of Love, War, and Redemption
“War is always more complex. Economics, history, religion all have a role, but not for the ones dodging the bullets. They just get blown around like seeds in the wind until the city folk with calculators and Swiss bank accounts stop talking rot from a bunker under a mountain.”
