I waited  a  very long time to read this book. I think that now is an excellent time to read given what we see happening around the world, but in particular Afghanistan and the U.S. It's a terrifying glimpse into what is possible, how history tends to repeat itself, and how disastrous it would be if these repetitions happened all at once.
