Houston Chronicle No one has covered the terrorist bombings as
Robin Wright does, including the origin and larger political and

a fix on a phenomenon that is complex, elusive, and kaleidoscopic.

Anthony Lewis Sacred Rage is must reading -- and fascinating
reading -- for all those who want to understand the fanatical
violence of the Middle East.
