An Excellent Book

There is much about this book to admire. Pintak is a courageous reporter, he writes well, and he addresses the question that no one in power asks: what brought the United States to the sharp end of terrorism? His thesis is that the origins of the conflict can be found in Lebanon, and the civil wars there, and I tend to agree with him. I write more about this book in my own book, Remembering the Twentieth Century Limited, which has a chapter on Lebanon and includes more thoughts about the questions that Pintak has raised here. There are many many books about the Middle East, but this is one that you will read and finish.
