Although there are later editions to this book, the main text was not revised. The later editions do list an Afterword in light of 9/11, which is excellent. But the main text was not altered according to copyright section. That the production company left out perhaps the most important paragraph of the book is mind boggling. The solution the author proposes involves the lack of freedoms in such societies/states.
Anyway, this is not an easy read or listen. Thankfully it’s short. In fact, I found it so difficult - due to style, my lack of familiarity with Islam, and all the terms thrown around - I set it aside half way through. Two weeks later I finished it and I’m very glad I did. A brilliant and balanced analysis.

A great book

There are likely other explanations, like a slide into religious fundamentalism, the curse of oil, etc., but this book looks back further and the parallels for personal or cultural understanding are valid. If you want to be the best, you can't have an ego that gets bruised when you are wrong. After all, the more willing you are to be wrong, the more right you will be in the future.
