Al Qaeda and what it means to be modern

John Gray
They destroyed the West's ruling myth.'So John Gray begins this short, powerful book on the belief that has dominated our minds for a century and a half - the idea that we are all, more or less, becoming modern and that as we become modern we will become more alike, and at the same time more familiar and more reasonable.
