• Fareed Zakaria: “This week's "Book of the Week" was written by Max Boot, my guest from earlier, and whether you agree with him or not on Iraq, his book "War Made New" technology, warfare, and the course of history is worth your time. It's a sweeping look at how the West has been so successful in warfare over the past 500 years, but also points out how technology has really been at the heart of so many important turning points and turning trends in history.”
