Stephanie Gutmann, the author of The Other War: Israelis, Palestinians and the Struggle for Media Supremacy was kind enough to send out a copy of her book and at 47 pages in it's already proving to be an excellent read -- much more of a page turner than one would expect. Readers will recognize the theme -- Israel's loss of the "message" war. I'm into the Muhammad al Dura chapter now and am looking forward to getting back to it.

I have also received an advance copy of Robert Ferrigno's new novel, Prayers for the Assassin which I'll put next on the reading list. According to the synopsis at the web site, the novel "asks what would happen if the terrorists win. In 2015, after the simultaneous suitcase-nuke attacks destroy New York and Washington, D.C. --- attacks blamed on the Israeli Mossad --- a civil war breaks out. An uneasy truce leaves the nation divided between an Islamic republic with its capital in Seattle, and the Christian Bible Belt in the old South." Sounds like a party! Looking forward to this one, too.

I have also received an email copy of Obaduah Shoher's, Samson Blinded: : A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict, but at 275 pages I'd have to print it out to read it -- I'll never get through it on a computer screen. It looks interesting as well...hmmm...
