Wow, thats pretty cool! He's definately interesting, really enjoyed the book. Only wish he posted more refrences in it to everything.
Have you read "House of Bush, House of Saud" yet?

No, but the publisher sent it to me. Sometimes I never do get to reading all the books that I get! Then again, I shouldn't complain, they are free after all. (one of the perks of my job!)
I get a lot of book sent to me via publishers for author interviews. I just finished "At the Abyss" by Thomas Reed, about the history of the Cold War. INCREDIBLE book. It reads like a novel. I interviewed that author as well. I'd recommend that one, if you're looking for a non-fiction book that reads like Tom Clancy!

Its really appears to be an impressive book with references for nearly everything it states. I just skimmed it quickly after picking it up, currently on my reading list. I'm really suprised the left hasn't latched onto it more so than the Clarke book with all of its known inconsistancies.
Hmm... I'll pick up "At the Abyss". Must be really nice having free books in the mail :)
Strange as much as I liked Stossels book, I'm in nearly complete disagreement with his personal social/political views that were written in it.
