Trade Review
[George Friedman] was on confidential terms with every head of state . . . this book goes over 9/11, its causes and consequences * SPECTATOR *
Updated by afterwords since first appearing in 2004, the book is particularly fascinating on Iran, which it notes can thank Bush for removing both its neighbours from hell, the Taliban and Saddam. * GUARDIAN *
This makes utterly compelling- and frequently scary reading. * OBSERVER *
