Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: America in an Arab Mirror: Images of America in Arabic Travel Literature: An Anthology (Hardcover)
I bought this book in order to read the piece by Sayyid Qutb, who is considered the intellectual father of Al-Qaeda. Although his observations on America were naive, they are not completely without merit and often display valuable insights. Other pieces range from discussions that are carefully reasoned and balanced to those that are outright attacks. Others are comic and satirical. Really, reading this book left me wanting more of these sort of articles to read. If only this book had been longer! Many of the articles were too short, probably because the translators did not want to spend their time translating more articles.
