'''Longlisted for the [[Orange Prize for Fiction 2012]]'''
The front cover of the book that I received for review is subtle (as befitting the sensitive contents) and I can see the two twin towers (as was) depicted in grey in the title word submission. The back cover announces that this novel will be ''Published in time for the 10th anniversary of 9/11.'' No pressure then. I open the book with a certain amount of trepidation, I have to admit and feel slightly as if I'm about to tread on (literary) eggshells. Heavens - what if I don't like the book?
If this book appeals then you might like to try [[Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies Against America by Walid Phares]].
