Turning point : the Arab world's marginalization and international security after 9/11by Dan Tschirgi
“It makes sense to understand the reasoning of those you oppose-even if doing so exposes you to truths about yourself that you do not want to see. Tschirgi rejects simplistic slogans-particularly the idea the Arab world is somehow exceptional, or that 9/11 is a product of an unreasoning hatred of American freedom-and offers a comparative analysis of the conditions underlying asymmetric conflict....The writing is a model of clarity, the arguments are well reasoned, and whatever one thinks of its conclusions, it is a book that deserves a wide audience. Recommended. All readership levels.”–Choice
