I first had to read this book in a class about globalization and terrorism at Penn in 2004. I loved it, but didn't think about it much until this year. I just finished reading it again, and while the book is even more compelling - and frighteningly plausible - 20 years after being published and almost 10 after I read…

@avclub-489acfbfa4d2424403acb81699170ac2:disqus THANK YOU. Very well-said.
