This book is phenomenal. Utterly, completely, insanely relevant and hugely intelligent. If nothing else Ali, borrow the book from Lamont and read Chapter 1 about Usman Khosa.
The book outlines how America failed miserably after 9/11, when instead of rallying the world to unitedly fight the al-Qaeda, it blustered and blundered and lost all its credibility and moral authority. He follows people ranging from Bush to an Afghan exchange student to Benazir to MI5 agents and Guantanamo lawyers. You have to read this book, Ali! It puts the gut feelings that so many of us have about the way the world is going today into an exquisite and ultimately hopeful narrative.
Must read!
