Summary: Simply Amazing, Must Read
Comment: I first came across this book and Mr Friedman channel surfing one night. I found a show on the Discovery Channel about Friedman's, basicly it was him traveling arounf the Islamic world interviewing world leaders, scholars, students, and your average citizens. A few days later I bought this book and did not put it down until i was finished. He provides a very insightful analysis about current Mid-East society and politics, the factors that led to the September 11 attacks and the current war on terrorism, and the failure of moderization in the Islamic world. Anyone remotly interested in politics should read this book, and Friedman's column in the NY Times

Summary: An Expert View on 9/11
Comment: If you want to see how right he was with what he wrote before and after 9/11, buy it. Be careful, it is just a compilation of Friedman's writings in his column. There is an extra diary part at the end. I enjoyed Lexus and Olive Tree more but if you are interested in Middle East Politics, buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Summary of His Recent Works for the New York Times
Comment: Mr. Friedman is an outstanding writer for the New York Times and he has an excellent reputation so his views are always worth a look. Here is a collection of his columns taken direct from his paper plus some other writings. I read The New York Times plus a lot of stories on the web so I probably would not have bought this book. It was a gift.
This is not really a book, it is a series of his writings bound into a book. For your own sake and enjoyment, it is better that like his writings, or are at the least neutral and open to his comments.
Obviously he is a good writer, and the story is a weave of page after page of personal thoughts, conversations, telephone calls, and interactions with leaders. It includes trips such as his trip to Saudi Arabia.
My only negative thing to say is that this is a collection of his columns and other writings which are all bundled together, and as such the book has no index, cross references, or footnotes or similar. But that is fine, it does not detract too much from the collection.
Brain food. Recommend buying, but as a "book" it merits just 3 or 4 Stars.
