From an interview in 2018, after the publication of his book “The Bodies in Person: An Account of the Civilian Casualties of America’s Wars,” McDonell said “I care about what’s being done in my name…I didn’t use to think about the relationship of my country and the lives of everyone else in the world.” In an interview published by The New York Times, McDonell mentioned that while a student at Harvard “I had a sense that the war in Iraq was run by people not so different from myself.”
