The Spiders of Allah by James Hider
Focuses on some of the very worst and most violent crimes committed in the name of religion. This book asks questions that the world needs to answer if we are to stand a chance of facing our own worst demons.
This sort of informed but subjective account of the frontlines of conflict in the Middle East is not simply rubbernecking, it's required reading * Time Out *
Hider's voice is incisive and rich in the human detail that only first-hand experience bestowsAn essential work for anyone wishing to understand the swirling machinations of Iraq, its people and its war -- Antony Loyd, author of My War Gone By, I Miss it So
At once a terrifying insight into the 'crack-cocaine of fanatical fundamentalism' and a blackly humorous narrative of a foreign correspondent's growing sense of bafflement and alienation -- Chris Ayres, author of WAR REPORTING FOR COWARDS
James Hider offers a new voice in the literature of the Middle East: His is delightfully fresh and very funny. It takes a brave and confident writer to take on so many taboos but Hider does it with the confidence that comes from years in the field and from a deep, authoritative historical and cultural knowledge of Israel, Iraq and the region -- Matt McAllester, author of BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS OF THE DAMNED
