I had high expectations for this new book. It has received glowing reviews. Many people say that Peter L. Bergen is the premiere expert on Al Qaeda and terrorism.
So I pick the book up Friday and start reading and I am blown away by the stupid statements of partisan political opinion scattered throughout.
As E. B. White put it, a single overstatement has the power to destroy for the reader the object of the writer’s enthusiasm.
