3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but highly misleading title, 8 Jan 2002
Fred Halliday is an expert on the politics of the Middle East (though the phrase 'Middle East' is not one he likes) and a professor of International Relations at the LSE. In this regard, there are few better suited to writing a book which promises to examine the 'Causes and Consequences' of the attacks of September 11. If you wish to buy a book that puts September 11th in its immediate and historical contexts, however, this is perhaps not the book for you. For 'Two Hours that Shook the World' is less an examination of those two hours than an examination of religious fundamentalism, Islamism, global inequality etc. Rather than the specific analysis we are promised (in the title, if not the introduction), we are given a series of articles, most of which were in fact published before September 11. The chapter on terrorism is a case in point, never mentioning the terrorist attacks that prompted the publication of the book.

However, the title of the book is the only major flaw in what is otherwise a thoroughly interesting read: from the intricacies of intra-Islamic tensions, to the Iranian (Islamic) Revolution. This is why you should buy the book, not for its somewhat overhyped title.
