I quit reading this book because I am underwhelmed with the quality of analysis by the author. It is too difficult to do justice to all of the presidents in a book like this. I do not think that the surveys of professional historians and political scientists' rankings of presidents that come out periodically are very good or edifying.

This is a somewhat abrasive in intent book summarizing the life of Muhammad, founder of the Islamic religion. It mostly uses original/accepted source material, but obviously cherry picks the "offensive" parts (no one is complaining about the 2.5%-of-wealth Zakat to the poor). Aside from the obvious (7th century nomadic arab life was pretty horrible generally...), the main takeaway is that IS and other fundamentalist Islamic movements are pretty solidly grounded in the fundamentals of the religion, and trying to confront them on that basis is doomed to failure.… (more)
