Jason Burke gives a good account of the middle east, of Kurdish Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Algeria and the Muslim world of South East Asia.

According to the Guardian: "From Algeria to Thailand, Burke, formerly The Observer's chief reporter in the region, moves through every quadrant of Islam, drawing out profound differences between the communities. This is no homogeneous surge of Muslims massing to rise as one against the West. His vivid contacts with Kurdish, Arab and Asian Muslims reveal complex issues, inter-communal and international, that far outstrip the 'war on terror's' capacity to provide analysis or answers."

The book is well written, clear and easy to understand.

Jason Burke is also the author of Al - Qaeda: The True Story of Radical Islam.

Great review I started reading it and thought I don't want to know about this, I had this shoved at me all my life, but the more I read the more interseting the book became. David
