About this title

Review:

Roger Mudd

If ever there was the right book on the right subject for the right readers at the right time, "Sacred Rage" is it.

Anthony Lewis

"Sacred Rage" is must reading -- and fascinating reading -- for all those who want to understand the fanatical violence of the Middle East.

Marvin Kalb

former chief diplomatic correspondent, NBC News

A real public service. Robin Wright knows her subject and writes about it with style and substance.

"Houston Chronicle"

No one has covered the terrorist bombings as Robin Wright does, including the origin and larger political and ethnic context in which they took place...No popular account contributes more to our understanding than "Sacred Rage."

"The Kansas City Star"

Robin Wright manages, against all odds, to get a fix on a phenomenon that is complex, elusive, and kaleidoscopic. Most impressive, however, is her ability to assess the situation with a clear eye, an objective attitude, and enormous intelligence.

Brian Jenkins

terrorism expert, the Rand Corporation

For Americans trying to understand the campaign of terror, for leaders formulating Middle East policy, for anyone interested in a gripping story of religious fervor, political intrigue, and ruthless violence, Robin Wright's book is a must. It reads like a novel. It informs better than any book I have seen on this subject.
