Must Read Book
I have just finished reading Dr. Steven Carol's book on the Middle East "Middle East Rules of Thumb", my first impression is, where was this book 30 years ago.
In 30 years of living in the Middle East I have been a constant student of my enemy, for to know my enemy is the first step towards my victory over my enemy.
It is too bad that so many involved in the leadership of Israel have never really taken the time to learn who their enemy is and I include in this former Prime Ministers who are veterans of Israel's most elite unit.
They learned the mechanics of how to fight the enemy. but never the insight to give Israel the victory that it needs.
Dr. Carol's book however has value that goes well beyond the scope of the conflict involving Israel and our neighbors.
This book should be required reading for every member of the United States military that will serve boots on the ground in the war on Islamic terrorism and even more important for members of the American intelligence agencies.
Lastly every person with an interest in the current conflict be they Christian, Jews or as we have seen in the latest attacks in India, Hindu should read this book to help understand the war we are in and will be involved with for the next 100 years .
