Joel Abrams writes \”The Christian Science Monitor today looks at what\’s currently on Congressional reading lists. .
\”Winston Churchill is big on Capitol Hill, among both Democrats and Republicans. So is Kenneth Pollack\’s new book, \’The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq\’, whose title is derived from Churchill\’s \’The Gathering Storm\’. Not on the must-read list are books like Mark Bowden\’s \’Black Hawk Down,\’ a harrowing account of just how grim urban street fights can get, even for today\’s most elite forces. Nor, judging by interviews and the buzz on Capitol Hill, is there a surge of interest in \’hearts and minds\’ books on Arab history or the culture of radical Islam.\”
