Customer Review: This is an excellent book which describes the fundamental
differences between the Shia and Sunnis. Antagonisms
existed between Shia and the Sunnis for over 1400 years.
The Sunni Islam had a Golden Age. Under the Umayyads,

Customer Review: I cannot put this book down. While I was in the Persian Gulf during this era (Actually my Ship, the USS Halsey CG-23 was just relieved and we were heading to the Mediterranean sea when the Stark was hit.) I am learning new things about what actually happened. I would really recommend this book to... more info
Customer Review: Normally it takes me maybe four or five hours to finish a whole book. With this one, I would read for four hours and discover I had read maybe 50 pages.

On the other hand, the analysis of the strategy and grand strategy of the war on page 84 is erroneous, and... more info
Customer Review: An interesting book on a subject that does not have a lot of coverage. It's chapter arrangement by actor is sometimes confusing but in the end I saw why the writer used that method rather than a strictly chronological narrative. One error in the book was that it talked about Reagan campaign... more info
Customer Review: This is by far one of the most inspiring books I have read in a while. I am amazed by Mr. Kenderian's strength of character despite all the opportunities and justifications there was to have been less than honorable. It made me realize how much I take living in this country for granted. Yes, we have... more info
