The United States of Israel
A modern political thriller-steeped in history
In the shadows of global politics, a movement rises that could reshape the Middle East forever.
Removing Western military influence from the region to allow self determination and peace
The modern Middle East's political turmoil is, in large part, a direct result of foreign interference.Since the early 20th century, Western nations—including Britain, France, and the US—have redrawn borders and implemented policies that serve their own ends, sowing discord and conflict. To this day, the region pays the price for these actions, as external military power continues to enforce an agenda that is not its own

This was a surprise. I received a complimentary copy from Booksprout and was reluctant not knowing the debut author. I try and have a 15 minute rule trying new stuff. Safe to say, I stayed longer than 15 minutes. The subject matter (if you have an interest in politics and the state of the world) is very topical. Too often, Western readers get authors with a Western view, and we just go along with it. This book confronts us Westerners with some of their government actions over the years, and it's not always easy to accept. The purpose of a book is to entertain, but more importantly, the reader should feel as if they have learnt something new. In that case, your learning will be plentiful.
It covers the spectrum of history, civilization, military tech,US Military, AIPAC, Israel, Indonesia, Turkiye, Science and a few others. It's not perfect, but the whole book leaves one thinking.
Worth a try

I have no words. This is great. Very eye opening, very factual. Cleverly brought and woven in. Content is
far more closer to reality. I think it will make a great book. Well Done

You’ve packed in a helluva lot: history, politics, espionage. The whole f&$*g box and dice.....It’s layered, it’s bold, and it’s not the kind of thing most people would even try to write.

Unbexpected. But riveting so far
Your medical treatment owes its development to the medicine, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and optics developed and refined by Muslim scholars in the Islamic Golden Ages from around 700AD through to 1300s.The expensive perfume you dab and the creamy and fragrant soaps you use is due to the development of distillation, soap making, and perfumes by merchants in the Islamic Golden ages using spices as exotic as rose, ambergris, and sandalwood.This was also the period when the decimal number system we use today became widespread.
Concepts such as Algebra, Algorithms were developed and are named after the inventors such as Al-Kwarizmi and Al-Tusi. Many stars and galaxies have Arabic names as a legacy of the major work done by earliest astronomers, think of the commonly named 3 sisters in the Orion’s belt, Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka.But these early pioneers are not widely recognised or mentioned in western history. Renowned scientist such as Copernicus and even Newton derived their work and theories on the back of prior meticulous science by Arab scholars before them.Baghdad was not a sad headline, it was a proud and bustling city, a centre of learning and welcomed scholars from around the world and Muslims, Jews and Christians worked side by side under the Abbasid house.It is this age that the Islamic activist movement, Tahl wishes to rekindle. Where Islam is again a force that contributes to commerce and science.
But this movement also knows that it first has to rid itself of the mischief and interference by western forces who have used underhand and nefarious means to control, usurp and sabotage countries in the Middle East. And that means removing western forces as a meddling force in the Middle East and allowing those countries more self-determination.That is the vision of Tito, an Indonesian lawyer who sees himself as a Mandela-like figure with a dream to unify Middle East countries and establish a supra-national movement uniting countries in both Middle East, Africa, and Asia to become a bloc with economic, political and military capabilities. This would lead to the recognition of Palestinian statehood and stop Israeli misadventures in the region.But Israel effectively runs the US government through its lobbyist and influence machines and threatens nuclear attack against all threats.Tahl aims to discourage US forces away from the Middle East and shows its capability by attacking US Naval forces with its Boxfish weapon, named after the lethal Boxfish jellyfish. At the same time, Türkiye has developed Glitter, an anti-stealth material that will diminish the capability of stealth aircraft, in particular the F35.Moving from the swanky elite restaurants in NY to the steamy snake filled jungles of Indonesia, exotic Istanbul and the dry spectacular Middle East.What will the maniacal Israeli prime minister with his fingers on the nuclear Sampson option do?
