“A well-researched and well-written book. Not sure I agree with assigning the preponderance of blame to the CIA. The effort to play up John O'Neil as the only person who could've stopped 9/11 from happening if he had not been forced out of the FBI betrays the author’s bias as well. Still, the book offers a very good glimpse into the inter-agency friction in the US and the history and rationale of the Islamic Jihadist movement, making it a worthwhile read.”

“Good insight into the history behind the Iran-US relationship. Too bad too many people forget or ignore that history when they blame our current President for the tensions between us and Iran. ”

“A good and interesting read. The authors clearly did their homework in researching the history behind the story presented in the book. I was expecting a book with narrow focus on the 1925 Diptheria epidemic in Nome and was pleasantly surprised by the side trips the authors make into Alaska's history along the way. ”

“Great book and a good illustration of the dangers of mobocracy and the current protester/activist culture.”

“I can speak a little bit of Spanish, so this book was a great refresher. It was also indispensible on my trip to Argentina.”

“This book does a great job presenting perspectives from both sides of the conflict. I thought McCullough's technique of quoting from various personalities and following what happened to them as events depicted in 1776 unfolded made this book an interesting read rather than a dull regurgitation of history. ”
