Rageh Omaar's unique and profoundly moving book is the story of his childhood in Somalia, his family's attitude to religion, his double life as a British Muslim and that of other British Muslims

Only Half of Me: Being a Muslim in Britain

For many people in Britain this is the biography of a man to be feared, the typical life of a young, male, black, British Muslim. It is also Rageh Omaar's story.

Only Half of Me is a moving account of being a Muslim in Britain: the author's own childhood and his attempt to straddle the world of his parents and that of his own, Western generation. It is also the story of people from similar backgrounds who made very different decisions: the Somali man who attempted to kill British civilians because he felt hurt at Muslims being attacked in a country he has never visited; the Muslims who are renouncing their religion; the author's cousin who was stabbed in a London street on 8 July, 2005.

Full of humanity and rage, empathy and insight, Only Half of Me is a compelling book that takes the reader on a journey into the heart of modern Britian and brings to life a world that has remained, until now, hidden from view.

Tacky, below-the-belt cover and pacifist-like attitudes are not always realistic (war against the Serbs who had committed repeated genocides was justified), however this is a fascinating book and well worth buying

Blair's Wars

This is the story of how the leader of the once-pacifist Labour Party fought five wars in six years: in Iraq in 1998, in Kosovo, in Sierra Leone, in Afghanistan, and again in Iraq last year. Kampfner, a journalist at the "New Statesman," relies on extensive interviews to construct an excellent inside account of Tony Blair's diplomacy with the world at large and within his own government and party. The ironies abound: the former leftist becoming a hawk; the politician once derided as all style taking great political risks because of his convictions; the hero to Americans being applauded in Congress for policies that were deeply unpopular back home (such as his support for the Israeli onslaught on Lebanon). On the controversial question of whether Blair supported the war out of conviction or out of reflexive support for Washington, Kampfner's answer is "both." Blair's actions demonstrate a consistent willingness to use force to good end, but, as one cabinet minister told Kampfner, "Supporting the Americans is part of Tony's DNA." What is it about Tony Blair, a deeply Christian man, that has given him such a taste for war?

People magazine called it 'Absolutely riveting and profoundly sad' - Sasson's controversial account of life in a repressive (and UNIslamic) state

Princess

While living in Saudi Arabia, Jean Sasson befriends a princess named Sultana. Sultana wants her life to be known and she gives Sasson her diaries and notes, entrusting her to write her life story. The result is a vivid depiction of the restrictions of Saudi Arabian society and the raw, corrupt, and unquestionable power of the royal males and some religious leaders who twist the benevolant teachings of Islam. 'Princess' is an intimate look at one woman's struggle against the injustices of a repressive society, which, whilst claiming to be Islamic, transcends it's teaching of treating women with decency and respect. A UK bestseller.

A devastating expose of a corrupt and hypocritical Saudi society which denies women the rights they are afforded by Islam
