Reviews

This book is highly recommended not only to students of international affairs, but also scholars in the field of Middle East studies.-Middle East Insight
This is a stimulating and provocative treatment of a subject that has been mired in propaganda. The book should be read as an antidote not only to mainstream accounts of this crisis but also to those of the domesticated variety of media creatures.-The Muslim World
