Unger should win a Pulitzer for this, a refreshingly researched and thoughtfully argued expose. I had expected this book would be a polemic and was pleasantly surprised to see that it is not. Unger writes in a sober, detached manner and always backs up his claims. He should give lessons on how to write a current events book and all of the other authors should be required to take that class before writing. This book has not received the press it deserves simply because it is too good and ironclad in its facts. The press only likes outrageous diatribe and poking holes in faulty arguments. They don't find that here. You will, however, find yourself enlightened. Anyone who thought Michael Moore overstated the conenctions between House Bush and House Saud can read this book and be shocked.
