I particularly like how the book ended. After discussing the insurgency which developed in that particular Middle Eastern nation, the author writes about his experience visiting some of the ancient ruins in the area, and reflects upon the thousands of years of history in the region, and the uncertain future of the nation. Although I got a strange sense of deja vu--I could have sworn I read a book that ended just like this...
Seriously, though, the book is a great read--I particularly liked how Jones shed light on Pakistan's involvement with the Afghanistan Taliban during the war.
