Army of Roses - The Inside World of Women Suicide Bombers by Barbara Victor
Despite sloppy writing (e.g. 'indignance' for 'indignity') and bad organisation, this book gives a compelling and chilling insight into the reality behind what gets into the media, ending with a fierce indictment of leaders on both sides of the Green Line. Victor has talked at length and in depth with all concerned and knows the area and its inhabitants well. The outlook is even worse than I thought and my perceptions have had to shift.
