Review (PDF) Christian Persecutions In The Middle East: A 21st Century Tragedy
"In his new book, author and political commentator George J. Marlin, Chairman of Aid to the Church in Need - USA - an agency under the guidance of the Pope that supports the persecuted and suffering Church around the world - describes the sharp rise in Christian persecution in the Middle East. After brief narratives on the rise of Christianity, Islam, and terrorism in the Middle East, Marlin documents country by country, acts of twenty-first century Christian persecution that is nearing a bloody climax that could produce the unthinkable: a Middle East without Christianity and the destruction of an ancient patrimony that has been a vital link to the very birth of Christianity."

A background of the different Christian groups in the Middle East. And the majority of the book is what has been happening in recent times which is heartbreaking just as the lack of attention to it
A must read . Christianity is slipping away by the million in a the Middle East.
Here is a link to Michael Novak's chilling review:(...)Sadly, the USA has watched this tragedy unfold, and even, as with "leading from behind" in Libya (while sending ambassadors to Ramadi to run guns) and pulling out of Iraq in a manner to leave a power vacuum, contributed to it.No, I have not read the book. I only rated it to post the link to a review.
