Twilight in the Desert

This interesting book review was originally posted at “Marine Engines > Fuel Prices”, and included an intelligent, but politically ‘charged’, discussion of political motivations, which I considered beyond this forum’s proper dominion - hence I edited the review to it’s essential fundamentals, and relocated it here.
Anyone wishing a copy of Anothersailorman's full review, including political analysis can PM me.

I saw the post earlier and thought this site might unfortunately go the way of some others where political diatribes and personal attacks abound instead of sailing related posts.

Thanks for not deleting the post entirely.
I'll "try" to stay off politics, but it's hard
I DO recommend the book.
