August1991 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) This book was published in Summer 2011. Here's the Amazon link. If you are interested in modern politics, world affairs, and bureaucracy - you must read this book. First of all, this is a very, very good read. It's a well written page-turner. In addition, this is not fiction. It's a description of what happened. Second, whatever your opinion of anything, you can read this book. The author does not take sides. As you read the book, you begin to think and wonder whether the author has told you the whole story. (Of course, it's from an American perspective but then you wonder... ) Third, I fear that Americans - in this "War on Terror" - are too organized. On the American side, you have bureaucrats, technology, grade-scales, promotion, hierarchy - all organized to defend America. On the other side, you have an amorphous group of men who, apparently, are fanatically religious. Edited October 3, 2011 by August1991 Quote
