- UNPARALLELLED CREDENTIALS and a fearlessness when it comes to criticizing policy (while only in his 30s) make Graeme Smith a perfect voice for publicity.
- THE LEGACY OF THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN will be a hot-button topic for critics and supporters alike during planned troop withdrawals in 2014 by the US and the end of Canada's training mission for the Afghan Army.
- CANADIANS WHO HAVE SERVED deserve a penetrating look at Canada's longest war. Graeme Smith is critical of NATO policy but sympathetic to our troops.
Further praise:
- "Smith relives his various tours of duty of Afghanistan and brings us an imperfect, heartbreaking, violent and poignant retelling of the landscape in Afghanistan. . . . A must read if you want to understand Canada's] contribution to the war on terror and its aftermath." The Huffington Post Canada
- ..".his account of events is brilliantly written, a kind of real-life political thriller ... " The Tyee
- "One of the most honest accounts of the ravages of war. Ever." "Sharp"
- "An accomplished and vibrant work." "National Post "
- "A disturbing, depressing, and essential book about Canada's long, misguided Afghanistan mission, "The Dogs Are Eating Them Now "is the culmination of Graeme Smith's years on the ground in that nation, largely spent reporting for "The Globe and Mail." But Smith was no average correspondent, spending much of his time outside designated safe areas, and, as this introspective and piercing book makes clear, questioning both the war and his role in propagating its core narratives. It is the book the war deserves: visceral and terrifying yet ambiguous and questioning. Smith is as brave in addressing our failings as he was in reporting from the battlefields."
