2008-06-24 excellent!

this is an excellent book to get back to the basics of where is all started, very hard going, but i would say dont give up, read to the end and it all kind of falls into place to give the reader an understanding of the wider picture even if you dont recall all the names and places! not the sort of book you can spend a few months reading as you could get lost with the who's and wheres ect. tells you the stuff the news seems to think we all know already, great if you want to join a debate and be on top, or just to understand the question 'why' its happening.
