Reading Material

Currently am working on Robert Fisk's massive 1000 page long tome, The Great War for Civilisation. I only have read the first chapter, but it did leave me breathless. He met with Osama bin Laden a number of times, and his accounts of the meetings are phenomenal. Bin Laden describing his plans, hopes, ambitions, his recollections of the history of the Middle East, his view on American state relations demonstrate all at the same time his religious fervor, his disregard for non Muslims, both his ignorance and thorough understanding of world affairs, and his zealous determination to carry out his goals.

I cannot comment on the book in its entirety yet, reading 1000 pages is a tough chore, so I am hesitant to recommend it, but just the opening passage is unexplainable.
