Accomplice To evil

Accomplice To Evil by Michael A. Ledeen sounds like it should be full of fear-mongering, but it isn't. This book explores historical acts of genocide and oppression, and shows how Americas humanistic view, prevent us from seeing evil for what it is until too many atrocities have been committed.

The main focus of the book is the current, and indeed long-lived, situation with Iran's was against America (the Great Satan). How previous attempts at negotiation have failed and how we tend to hope for the best from the Iranian leaders.

It's a lot less boring than I just made it sound, and I feel like I learned a few things, which is always a challenge for any book. ;)

I recommend it. Definitely a 3
