Holy Land, Whose Land?: Modern Dilemma, Ancient Roots

You want to know why we can't "win" in Iraq? This book gives a pretty dispassionate view of the situation in the Holy Lands, and by extension, the Kruds, Suni and Shia. Interesting, but at the same time depressing.

The author spoke at our Rotary Club and is very good speaker as well. Bona fides are certainly there for a book like this.

Incidently, the title is a little mis-leading as she mentioned in her talk and in the intro to the book. The book does not purport to have an answer, just explains the situation in the Holy in academic detail.

This should be a read for everyone, including our government leaders.
