How to Win a Cosmic War

Aslan, an American born in Iran, writes a mix of religious and political history and analysis, including some Muslim apologetics and a sometimes-chilling comparison of jihadism with Jewish fundamentalism and the evangelical hijacking of the "War on Terror." Narrator Sunil Malhotra has a slight foreign accent--basically, no more than overly precise enunciation (for an American). He provides accurate--at least, accurate sounding--pronunciations of Arabic and Middle Eastern names and terms and a sense of authenticity. His reading has a few minor tics, but on the whole he gives an articulate, intelligent narration of this sometimes-fascinating examination of religious and social conflict. W.M.
