I don't know how to characterize this book or my reaction to it. Perhaps an amalgam is most appropriate: I agree when Mosley says that silence is consent. As Mosley says, "Silence is the worst enemy of freedom." Silence about what? Silence about the behavior of our government and its approach to international politics. Read this book. Think about Mosley's comments about average people in all areas of the world. And make your own conclusions about the ability of average people -- like me -- to put an end to terrorism. ( )
