There is a ton of information in this book, a lot of detail which is important, but sometimes masks the important questions the author brings forward. The research in this book in incredible, the topics which lack media exposure are as important as ever these days. The historical background and analysis helps the author connect seemingly unrelated events and their impacts on policies and practices. Not only Americans, but Muslim clerics and radicals. The history delves into people, what made them who they are and how they became true believers in their own policies. The author goes to great lengths into relevant history to give the reader some context about decisions made.
