Book Review: Imperial Hubris - Anonymous
I heard about this book one day while watching CNN just before the last US elections and the CNN coverage got me curious.
So I eventually made it to the Public library computers and requested a hold on the book.
I got the book just about 6 weeks ago and that’s how long it took me to read the 260 or so odd pages of that thing.
This is one of the driest things I’ve ever actually read. Normally I would have tossed the book back into the library return bin but despite its penmanship this thing actually offers some decent insight.
Not to go into details (the book does that in spades) but Imperial Hubris offers lots of information (some of which simply confirmed my suspicions) and analysis into the state of affairs of America’s war on terrorism.
Whether you’re a civil libertarian or a hawk you should read this thing as it has information for both of you.
Some interesting points:
1) America will lose in Afghanistan (all else being equal)
2) America will continue to bleed in Iraq
3) Osama Bin Laden is not in fact on the lunatic fringe of Islam
There are others things to learn, and I have my own opinions but you’ll have to decide if the book is right or wrong on these.
Support this web site….blah blah blah and go buy the book at Amazon.
