Chris Alden handed me the audio CD for The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror by Bernard Lewis and said “you must read this — i’ve listended to the CDs twice”

with a recommendation like that, i couldn’t wait to get started. sure enough, one trip to Tahoe later, The Crisis of Islam is a book i would suggest to anyone looking to get further information on one of the world’s greatest religions and its intersection with current events, the economy, and terror.
