Sounds like a similar book I'm into now called "Good Muslim, Bad Muslim"...it's a study on how the roots of 9/11 can be traced directly to the Cold War.

What's amazing is the impact Reagan's proxy war strategy had on the rise of militant Islam during the Afghanistan war.

Given my book is written by an African Muslim, it would be interesting to see if they differ on their accounts of history

No desire to watch the mini-series. History doesn't really need Hollywood f'ing it up, and from all the media it souds like this one was a little off.
