The Reason:Having just finished watching William Federer narrate the video series "Political Islam's War on the West", I felt the need to read the book he stated contained the material the series was based upon. This, in the hopes that it would clarify the information he was churning out at light speed and answer the questions I would have asked him had I been at the filming of the video.Fortunately, I am not disappointed at all with the book "What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur'an" although I would rename it as it looks far beyond what is written in the Qur'an to historical events and a variety of other sources of information. Perhaps he should have entitled it "A Concise History of Islam that Everyone Should Know".The Book:The book presents information in very precise and succinct format. Considering that the Table of Contents is five pages long in a book that is only 278 pages in length tells you that you won't be wondering how long it is to the next chapter. Given the intensity of what he has written, I doubt you would concern yourself with that anyway.The Author:Although I have seen other reviewers say that the information found within this book is not correct or lacks reference, I don't find their analysis accurate. Albeit, his statements are not footnoted to absurdity, but that does not, in itself, make them any less correct. The information, one finds, is very accurate when they decide to research it for themselves. William J. Federer is, after all, a historian and has degrees and accolades to prove it. Moreover, he has been used as a reference himself regarding the authenticity and validity of statements made by others about historical events.
