HATRED'S KINGDOM, by Dore Gold

Has anyone read Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism by Dore Gold?

Great Read

I was living in Saudi from May 02 to May 04, working for Aramco. This book was loaned to me by a friend and I read it on his recommendation. Remember, Gold is an Israeli diplomat, so you get his "opinion". That said, it's a great, chilling read for sure, and I highly recommend it. I worked in an all-Saudi office, and I will tell you, it was a bit hard to look at my co-workers the same way after reading this book. I'm also glad I found this thread, because I have a LOT of recommendations for reading... !

Why not start a new thread with those recommendations?

Thanks, sandytroop. I sat next to a guy on the plane who was taking copious notes from it, and it caught my interest. One more book to buy.
