An extraordinary and timely book that takes The God Delusion debate onto the streets of the Middle East.
James Hider is The Times Middle East Bureau Chief, currently based in Jerusalem. This is his first book.
This sort of informed but subjective account of the frontlines of
conflict in the Middle East is not simply rubbernecking, it's
required reading
*Time Out*
Hider's voice is incisive and rich in the human detail that only
first-hand experience bestows. An essential work for anyone wishing
to understand the swirling machinations of Iraq, its people and its
war
*Antony Loyd, author of My War Gone By, I Miss it So*
At once a terrifying insight into the 'crack-cocaine of fanatical
fundamentalism' and a blackly humorous narrative of a foreign
correspondent's growing sense of bafflement and alienation
*Chris Ayres, author of WAR REPORTING FOR COWARDS*
James Hider offers a new voice in the literature of the Middle
East: His is delightfully fresh and very funny. It takes a brave
and confident writer to take on so many taboos but Hider does it
with the confidence that comes from years in the field and from a
deep, authoritative historical and cultural knowledge of Israel,
Iraq and the region
*Matt McAllester, author of BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS OF THE DAMNED*
