  6. Feedback: What is the best biography you have ever read?

    One of the best biographies I have ever read was "Another Man's War: The True Story of One Man's Battle to Save Children in the <a class="runtimeTopic" href="#">Sudan</a>,<strong>"</strong> by Sam Childers, aka the machine gun preacher. It painted the image of Childers fighting for orphans in Sudan, and also gave lots of background on his life before he started this mission. I highly recommend it.

  7. Book review: 'Jerusalem' by Simon Sebag Montefiore

    Simon Sebag Montefiore's epic survey of Jerusalem's sanguinary history does not inspire confidence in the civilizing qualities of religion. The pile of corpses accumulated over millenniums from the persecutions both perpetrated and endured by all three of the faiths &mdash; Christianity, Islam and Judaism &mdash; that have contended for Jerusalem would surely be high enough to reach the celestial home of any one of them. Not that politicians come off any better than believers here. Anyone frustrated by the intractable stalemate in the contemporary Middle East peace process may take grim comfort from the knowledge that Jerusalem has been a flash point for global warfare since the time of the Egyptian pharaohs: "the desire and prize of empires," as Montefiore puts it, "yet of no strategic value."
