Michael Scheuer · 2004
A foreign policy critique arguing that Islamic terrorism is fueled by American military intervention in Muslim lands rather than hatred of Western values.
Scott Horton recommends it because it makes the motives behind Osama bin Laden's actions clear.
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“There's this great book by Michael Scheuer, who was the former chief of the CIA's bin Laden unit. It's called Imperial Hubris.”
Why: Scott notes it makes the reasons for bin Laden's actions very clear.
