Haven't read that one. Just downloaded it from Audible. I just started Said's Orientalism and I fear it's going to be a long slog.
The book has a nice sleuthing pace. I have more success getting people to read it, than most. Factually it is a great explination of how the US stunts democracy, and prosperity everywhere else.

If I pay as much attention to the news as I would like, I tend to break.
