The Axis of Evil: Iran, Hizballah, and the Palestinian Terror (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Axis of Evil outlines the operations and goals of Shiite and Iranian terror. As Shaul Shay shows, Iran has done its utmost to conceal its involvement in terror activities and avoids leaving incriminating 'fingerprints' that might prompt retaliatory action by victims of this terrorism. The Axis of Evil deals extensively with IranÂ’s involvement in terrorist activity against Israel through Hizballah after the Israel Defense ForcesÂ’ withdrawal from Lebanon (May 2000) and the instigation of the Al-Aksa Intifada (September 2000-2003). It examines IranÂ’s attitude towards the State of Israel since the rise of Knomeini, confirming that Iran sees Israel as a primary source of the worldÂ’s wrongdoings and the epitome of evil. In turn, Israel has become one of IranÂ’s archenemies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Badly Written, August 10, 2006

By	Wild American "Wild American" (Berkely, CA) - See all my reviews

I was hoping the book would show a good connection to Iran. However, the writing is absolutely horrible, the resources sometimes disputable, and overall I felt the whole book kept on dragging on! I had a hard time finishing half of it.
