If you want to know the origins of Al Qaeda; you need to read this.By Michael D.I gave this a 4-star rating because the biases the writer holds still come out in some of his explanations that I don't agree with.However; American foreign policy is a continuation of English Imperial foreign policy. Every couple hundred years; someone else takes the empire torch; and continues the same nightmare.Our CIA; Mossad and the British played a game that backfired. You'll have to find another book on AIPAC and US Lobbying to learn who really benefits. This book is an excellent look into the failures of manipulating radicals for potential political gain.Whether you have a friend who is Republican; Democrat; Liberal; Conservative; Libertarian or flat out Socialist; they deserve to know the historical lessons tom playing the devil's game of empire building.6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. The Devil Made Us Pay ThemBy Dwight C. DouglasThe way I discovered this book was when two former CIA Afghani operatives sat down next to me at a bar in Washington; DC. After a brief discussion about the state of the world; they suggested I read Devil's Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam by Robert Dreyfuss. For those people who are conspiracy freaks; this book will only make you more paranoid. For those of us who are looking for a fuller understanding of how we got to the point that a religion would be so politically and militarily driven; this is the perfect book. In a sense; it makes me ashamed of my country. My only regret was that this was published in 2006 and in the decade since; there have been so many things this book predicted. Wake up Washington I give Devil’s Game five stars and hope that other writers and researchers carry on this work.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic!! The history seems too detailed at times ...By kenneth jammeFantastic!! The history seems too detailed at times but after I moved into the 1950's and on; the picture became clear.Most americans are students of history about ten minutes old; too bad.What happened on 9/11 and what is happening now in the middle east is our Frankenstein.
