Other contenders? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Corrado (Ireland), Aug 23, 2017 at 10:35

Off the top of my head:

Fawaz Gerges - The Rise and Fall of al Qaeda
Olivier Roy - The Failure of Political Islam
Fred Halliday - Iran: Dictatorship and Development
Shimon Peres - The New Middle East

Any other worthy nominations?

Daniel Pipes replies:

What a great list.

I reviewed #2 at http://www.danielpipes.org/659/the-failure-of-political-islam

Patrick Clawson reviewed #4 for the Middle East Quarterly at http://www.meforum.org/146/the-new-middle-east

I'd also nominate Gene W. Heck, When Worlds Collide: Exploring the Ideological and Political Foundations of the Clash of Civilization, which I discussed at http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2007/08/the-worst-book-of-2007

Yet other contenders are eagerly solicited. Who knows? With enough candidates, this might turn into a blog entry.
