Klein gave me an entirely new perspective on world history and the role of the United States. Although there was much I already knew, she added much detail that I didn't. In particular, I found her chapter on Israel fascinating. . .There are undercurrents to the events we read about in the papers, about which most of us are unaware. Even me, who prides myself on being so well read (including on Israel and the occupied territories!) <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/807243?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
