review 1: A solid, startling read on how the war on terror has changed the world - for the worse - and that in the end, everyone is to blame for what has happened since 9/11 and how the United States responded to it. Some of the more specific phraseology goes mentioned without definition, which can be irritating. Streatfeild does a good job of not inserting himself heavily into the narrative beyond the introduction and lets the eight stories speak for themselves. Looking forward to reading more works by him.
review 2: Exceptionally well-written and researched bu the title is a bit misleading. Its closer to "Stupid Things People (Mostly Americans) Did Since 9/11." While he never says so directly the implication is that Al Qeada and terrorism in general gained the upper ... morehand after 9/11. Americans and the West over-reacted, sold out many of its principles and turned large sections of the Islamic World against it. Its a big argument and his anecdotal approach ofen raises more questions than he answers. But still a very good read. less
