Re: Book recommendation: Under the Banner of Heaven
[ QUOTE ]
I just read this book as well, I would recommend it but only give it about a 7/10. It was good but sometimes I wondered where he was going with it all.
His other three books are much much better imo.

I agree, Brujita. His other books were better stories and perhaps more captivating narratives. But I really felt this book was eye-opening, especially in a time when there's so much focus on Islamic fundamentalists in countries far, far away. As Michael said, it's quite amazing to me that this subculture exists (and thrives to a degree) here in America.
