Reviews

This is a well-documented and timely volume since there are currently few other works dealing with the same subject. The book is based on the author's….thorough knowledge of Middle Eastern countries, their history, and politics before and after 9/11/2001; interviews with Arabs of various political persuasions and social strata; his own witnessing of events; and writings of political analysts and novelists.
