I know it's a different topic, but I found it very inspiring and insightful,
especially in light of our own
imperialist occupations.  From the publisher's description:

What makes people act against their own national identity?
> How real are the concepts of nationalism and patriotism?
> In what ways does the media control our perception of history in the
> making?
