Here's a review of Berlinski -- it speaks for itself. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Original, fascinating, and important. With deep knowledge and fresh insight, Berlinski shows how some of the problems swirling in Europe (such as nihilism and neo-Nazism) echo patterns from the distant past, while others (welfarism, childlessness, and Islamism) are novel. She warns non-Europeans: the region that nearly devastated the world in the twentieth century threatens again to inflict grievous damage in the twenty-first." -Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Judy Evans, Cardiff
