"Couldn't put it down!!!!!!!!"
Wow!!! Loved this book. From thousands of interviews and research the authors managed to take facts, dates and events and blend them into a book that told a story from the perspective of both the Jews and Arabs. No taking either side but giving a VERY detailed chronological order of events which led to the establishment of the Jewish state. Anyone interested in learning about what drives the current events in the Middle East should read this book to provide the most comprehensive background of events. One of the best non-fiction books ever written and a MUST for anyone interested in the Arab/Jew conflict. I am neither Jewish or Arab but I found the book absolutely superb, download it now for a great journey through the history of Jerusalem before and after WW11
"Wonderful series"
A wonderful series, you become attached to the characters over the life span of the series.
"Fabulous"
What a wonderful thought provoking book, highly recommended to all.
"Very thought provoking"
What a wonderful book!! It does not take sides on the war, just lays out the facts for the reader to absorb. I will have to watch the news even closer now to try and see the backdoor plays that effect the global political scene.
"Hmmmm"
Loved the book!!! Unfortunately now I can't listen to any politican without thinking of "double speak" or the more apt "Ministry of Truth". Maybe the title could be revised to 2004?
"Entertaining book"
I hate fishing, but this book had some great characters and a great story line. A fine listen for those who enjoy comedy.
"Excellent"
Forget the newspapers listen to the man with the knowledge.
"Enjoed it very much"
Following world events from the end of WWII and mixing fact with fiction was very very well done. One could easily assume they are reading a factual account of events. The story is long BUT there are so many twists and turns that the reader never feels as though the writer has over extended. Fantastic book, author and narrator!!
"Love him or hate him"
The difference between Naom and other so called political pundants is that he does the research to back up his claims. And not just any research, very very thorough research. A must read for any politically aware person.
Chomsky gives very detailed examples of state sponsored terrorism over decades and looks at the current world from an angle many of us do not bother to take the time to see.
"I did not talk to my wife for a few days"
This booking was gripping from the very beginning. I couldn`t put it down, every spare second I had each day was spent reading this book. The BEST book I have EVER read bar none!!
"Wow"
Simply if you want to know what was going on behind closed doors over a few administrations with regards to terrorism, who did what and who did not. This book should be a must read for all Americans. Richard Clarke was the point man and certainly qualified to make the judgements he makes in this book. Fantastic read!!
