Rather than rehash what many reviewers have already noted, I'll stick to what is most compelling. Coulter makes her case on several topics and provides details rarely he... Read more
Review:I was disappointed that the booked was billed as the best book on the Middle East when it was more of a travel bio in the 1980 timeframe. Good antidotes and some history but too outdated. For example Sadam in Irac is history not an understanding on current Middle East Read more
