Ken Follet will tell you a fairly good story, so there is that.

This book though...how long are we going to gamble with the fate of the world? We are like the proverbial frog in the pan, unaware that the water is going to eventually kill us. Our propensity to violence, accident, and power are an uncontrollable/inevitable? path to self destruction. If the last administration wasn't enough evidence that the US is vulnerable to incredible stupidity and blind nationalism then just think about how as a people we are defined by vengeance and violence. And we have already justified the dropping of two Nuclear weapons.

Can't we just all agree that killing, war, violence is something that we should have rid ourselves of long ago and that it is way past time for us to “give peace a chance”?
