One Point of View
Although shielded from the world, this event was pretty significant and caused fissures that have yet to be repaired.
Keep in mind who is telling the story (a westerner) and the some of the vocabulary used (very Amrican) that exposes anti-Muslim undercurrents.
The episode has been practically erased from the Arabian Gulf countries' (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait) memory - locals were only given vague information and not many have a good idea of what happenned and how it "really" ended.
I would recommend the book to anyone interested in Islam and the region but educate yourself first.1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book explains a lot
Every warrior, military and civilian, involved in the fight against terrorism should read this book. A good exposure to the start of the radical Muslim movement, and the mistakes made on all sides.
