to SLM3, I just looked it up on Amazon.com, and I see that David Hirst used to write for the UK's The Guardian. The Guardian is known to carry certain political agendas, so I expect that a writer for them would carry similar politcal agendas. If you have any truly nonpartisan works to suggest, then I would like to hear them, otherwise make sure that you mention that certain authors carry biases when they write your suggested books.

Hirst has spent decades IN the Middle East, reporting. He's banned by 6 Arab countries as well. He's a calls it as he sees it kinda guy, which is why he's been attacked equally by both sides in this conflict. This book is one that prides itself on its dependance upon sources to back up everything, and it shows. There's little room to preech. Again, I think you'd do well to read it.
