Review

I think this a nice introductory book

to the arab world, but no the best book ever. The book tries too hard to integrate its theme. Sometimes it does it cleverly but by the end of the book the author is pulling at strings. Also, I the book offers is of little informational value because it does not offer information that is not commonly known or thought. What it tells us about he Arab world is what people already know. it offers no ground breaking information.
