3.Terrorism and U.S. Foreign Policy by: Paul R. Pillar 2004-01
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $19.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.74
Pillar's importance has come to light to "the mainstream" of American thought after his piece titled "War, Policy, and the War in Iraq" came out in Foreign Affairs critizing the current war. Pillar, however, has had a long established career in foreign policy work. The book is not an "easy read" and is quite technical, but it is an essential read if you want to know what our country's top analysts think is the best way to deal with "terrorism". Furthermore, his insight into Bin Laden and his Al-Queda organization is very interesting as this book which was written before 9/11.

8.Through Our Enemies' Eyes: Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America, Revised Edition by: Michael Scheuer November 19, 2007

Written by the former head of the CIA's Bin Laden unit, the book documents Al Qaeda's historical rise, goals, and motivations. Although the author is an American patriot, you should be aware that it generally gives Al Qaeda the benefit of the doubt insofar as motivations and history are concerned. In that respect, if it's the only book you read on the subject you may be doing yourself a disservice because Scheuer does have a serious man-crush on Al Qaeda as an operational organization and Bin Laden as a great, if sometimes misguided man. Scheuer's second and third books (Imperial Hubris and Marching Toward Hell) are also heavily recommended, but they are much more polemical and political in nature than the first. In other words, be prepared for blunt, politically incorrect and iconoclastic writing. They should ... Read More

I once asked a professor what he thought about DeLillo's book Falling Man, and his response was that, "It just isn't what America needs right now." At the time, I remember being exasperated by such a political response from a professor of liberal arts, but after reading this book, I can see what he meant. The Looming Tower is what America needs right now. What struck me first when I opened it was how quickly I was able to read through it. Non-fiction books are often daunting, boring, heavy-handed, or badly written, but this book is proof that those don't have to be flaws of the genre. Take a look in the back of the book at the number of books Wright went through in research, and how many people he interviewed, and you'll get a feel for why this book feels so real. Every character is portrayed ... Read More

Although history is replete with Crusades, Jihads, Holy Wars, etc. it still stymies me how, otherwise intelligent people can slaughter each other and bring chaos to thousands, over religion. Even if any of it were true, it would seem sane to avoid it simply because it is so divisive, violent and irrational.
