I Heard you Were Going on Jihad, by Mitchell Gray

I Heard you Were Going on Jihad, by Mitchell Gray, was received from the publisher in exchange for this review. Any American in the USA on 9-11-2001 and witnessed the events on television or in person, should read this book. I learned more about how the Middle East became what it currently is, in the preface, than I had ever been told from the media or politicians, who caused many of the problems. Before you, the readers, starts sharpshooting me, I am FULLY aware it was politicians past whose ineptness in foreign policy, much like the ineptness of modern times, within the last 20 years, that lead to the Middle East we now accept. At times, the author goes into the weeds so much the book sounds “clinical,”, which caused me to skim some but over all, if you are the type of person who wants to understand “why,” the events happened, how the events happened and is it possible for them to happen again, no matter how much money we act like we are throwing at the problem, then you should read this book and buy copies for the naysayers who want to blame one specific group for what happened.
