Book Description

Now in trade paperback with a Reader's Guide inside: A "compelling...guided tour through the underground youth culture in Tehran...an illuminating book." (The New York Times)

A favorite of readers and critics nationwide, Lipstick Jihad is now available in the format most likely to appeal to its natural market-and it now includes a wealth of new material to interest readers and reading groups. Azadeh Moaveni was born in Palo Alto, California, into the lap of an Iranian diaspora community longing for an Iran many thousands of miles away. As far back as she can remember she felt at odds with her tangled identity. College magnified the clash between Iran and America, and after graduating, she moved to Tehran as a journalist. Immediately, Azadeh's exile fantasies dissolved.

Azadeh finds a country that is culturally confused, politically deadlocked, and emotionally anguished. In order to unlock the fundamental mystery of Iran-how nothing perceptibly alters, but everything changes--she must delve deep into Tehran's edgy underground. Lipstick Jihad is a rare portrait of Tehran, populated by a cast of young people whose exuberance and despair bring the modern reality of Iran to vivid life. Azadeh also reveals her private struggle to build a life in a dark country--the struggle of a young woman of the diaspora, searching for a homeland that may not exist.

Interesting, but not captivating.......2007-07-06

Azadeh Moaveni's "Lipstick Jihad" is interesting and well-written, but not captivating. Much of the criticism from other reviewers revolves around her well-to-do social status and her focus on the young, upper- and middle-class generation with which she seems to have spent her time. Is this an "authentic" description of contemporary Iran? Were this a work of journalism, this critique might be valid, for the book is fully absorbed in the Islamic Republic-style perversions of the otherwise recognizable drama of being a young adult. And one can hardly charge her with misleading the reader on this account, as I can't think of a more apt description of this book's focus than the subtitle itself: "A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America and American in Iran."

The appropriate question to ask is not what the subject of her book is, but how well she has captured it. It is for this that I only give three stars. She rides from interesting anecdote to interesting anecdote, and when discussing her sense of being suspended between Iranian and American identities she can really shine. But her attempts to draw perspective often left me skeptical. She's fully capable of viewing her environment critically, but I'm not convinced she ever transcended it, looked back and encapsulated it for her audience.

When I finished each chapter I was not compelled to start the next and only rarely found myself lost in its pages. I am glad I read the book, and learned much about the political and social dimensions of life in contemporary Iran. But a memoirist's role is larger - even, in some ways, dishonest. For a memoir must universalize the personal, must order and narrate a life that rarely comes with either. In Moaveni's abstraction of her experience she only puts forward an interesting read, not a great one.

Interesting, but somewhat narrow in outlook.......2007-06-09

I enjoyed this book and found it somewhat enlightening about Iran and it was interesting to read how the younger set manages to socialize despite the constant repression by their government. Before going to Iran to live for a time, the author has an idyllic remembrance of a visit there, coupled with the reminicenses of her family. Once she gets there she gets an education of what it's like to live in a society that is in no way free and is governed by religious fanatics.

I was annoyed that she still felt so torn throughout the book - she wanted Iran to be so different, and seemed to consider herself Iranian, never once acknowledging her great good fortune of having been born an American. She never mentioned an appreciation for America, only yearning for a better Iran so she could stay there, and ultimately went to live in Beirut but doesn't say why. She could not have a fulfilled life in America?

Another thing that bothered me was the narrow perspective. She wrote about how the people she socialized with didn't care at all about Islam and weren't religious, thus giving the impression that the only religious fanatics in Iran are the people running the government. She seemed to think that if Iran could go back to a secular government that Islam would no longer be a problem for Iranians. Also I would have liked more depth pertaining to the problems women experience in this type of environment.

vividly forgettable.......2007-05-25

I have no business writing this review, for I read Moaveni's "Lipstick Jihad" over eight months ago, and can recall little about it.

Then why, you may ask, are you writing a review? If you can remember nothing about the characters sketched, the episodes related, the lessons learned, the style employed, etc. -- if none of these things has stuck in your mind, what could you possibly have to say about the book?

My point exactly.

One Woman's Story.......2007-04-21

So many of the reviews I've read focus on the author's upper-middle class status or her secularism as if these things make her less Iranian and therefore less suitable to write a book about being Iranian. Let us not forget that this book is a memoir, it is one woman's story of living in Iran but never really feeling like an Iranian. It's not a history book nor is it political commentary, though it does delve into both subjects. It is, however, an incredibly honest depiction of an American-born journalist's life in Iran during Khatami's presidency.
I know the reason I loved this book so much is because of all the parallels I can draw between the author's life and my own. "Lipstick Jihad" is the book I would write if I ever had the opportunity. It's almost eerie reading someone else's words all the while thinking they could be your own. No book, no picture, no film has ever made me ache for Iran like this book has. And I know this book won't and can't affect everyone the way it has me, but it is definitely worth reading to find out.

An excellent cultural study.......2007-03-31

I dare say that Azadeh Moaveni's book "Lipstick Jihad" will enter into the classics of cultural studies. Unlike its derisive title, the book is probably one of the most insightful of its kind. Moaveni is no doubt a skillful writer, and to have been able to write with such wisdom and clarity at such young age smacks of brilliance. As a diasporic Iranian living in the US for the past thirty years, I resonate to her work in absolute understanding, sentence by sentence, although I belong to her father's generation. Moaveni manages to trespass boundaries and generations. There are so many great statements in the book that it could be called a book of proverbs. My favorites? I found statements on every page that bedazzled me with her wit, satire, bitterness, sarcasm, and perceptiveness. Here are a few:

On fatwa against poodles: "Iranians felt a harsh contempt for the clerics, who had taken over an oil-rich country in the name of Islam, sunk its economy, and now spent their days railing against poodles."

On the difference between expressing herself in Farsi and English: "I tried to explain, dismayed to see notions like "I need space" evaporate into meaninglessness in Farsi. It was as though the soft, soap-opera lighting of English had been witched off, and replaced by harsh, fluorescent glare of Farsi."

About her favorite caf in Tehran: "It was the only caf in Tehran designed with innovative elegance and attracted young people starved for aesthetic beauty - the artists, writers, and musicians whose sensibilities suffered acutely in a city draped with grim billboards of war martyrs."

On the prohibition of mingling of genders, and its results for Islamization of the Iranian society: "The Tehran of the revolution was one of the most sexualized milieus I had ever encountered...the constant exposure to covered flesh brought to mind, well, flesh."

On the harassment of women by men for their lack of proper Islamic attire: "This is how the regime eased its burden of repression: by conditioning people to police one another. If you had conducted a national referendum that very day, the vast majority of Iranians - men and women alike - would have voted to abolish the mandatory veil. But accustomed to being watched in public, people internalized the minding gaze of the regime, and turned it back outward. "

About the Iranian culture: "Here is [a] culture liberal with affection but stingy with tolerance."

Book Description

While Scandinavia's 'Viking Age' is one of the most studied aspects of early medieval history, much less has been published about the centuries that followed. Yet the armies of Sweden, Norway and Denmark offer fascinating differences from the rest of medieval Western Europe, both in their organisation and their war gear - due partly to their remoteness, climate and terrain, but partly to their long freedom from the feudal system of other kingdoms. This book explains the special nature of Scandinavian armies, shaped by the relative weakness of kings and aristocrats, and the contrasts between the separate nations of the North.

Post-Viking Warriors.......2007-04-07

A fine book about a subject that has not received enough attention. Both text and plates deal with Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish armies, as well as those of the Kingdom of the Isles, the Saami, and the Norse settlers in Greenland and Iceland. A wonderful book with Angus McBride's usual excellence.

Could have been better.......2005-02-10

As a scandinavian and a fan of Osprey I find this book particlarly interesting, though I must say that it lacks in quality. It has some flaws, starting already on page 1 with the Skog Church-tapestry. According to the text, it's 12th century - wrong - it's 13th century (and it's far from sure whether it really portrays pagan Gods). My overall impression is that the text is both informative and quite well-researched, but I got frustrated with the horrible ignorance about my own sámi ancestors (I'm part sámi). This book claims that the medieval sámi were "tribal" - wrong. Please - just because a people are hunters and gatherers it doesn't mean that they have to be tribal. The sámi were not (and aren't) tribal, the traditional society is based upon small groups of extended families (siida or "village"). The book claims that there were clashes between the norse and the sámi - there were in fact no military conflicts because of the simple fact that the sámi never fought - they hardly knew how to defend themselves.

Well despite this the text is generally okay. Now to the plates - which are worse. I agree with mr Fodstad - McBride's characters are weirdlooking - they're too stocky and have funny facial features like caricatures (McBride used to be much better). The clothes are often fantasy rather than fact. Why all the fur? The battle of Hova was fought on june 14th. Why then is the peasant soldier on plate G dressed in a thick Conan-style furcoat (and a furred hat)? Well We have summers here in Scandinavia too, you know... And don't get me started on the so called Sámi "tribal warrior"...

No, this book leaves much to ask for, sadly the second book was not much better

A book of limited value.......2004-09-01

As the nordic (since Finland and Iceland are included in the book, the title is misleading) medieval military scene after the viking age is a subject on which few authors have cared to comment, one could have hoped for a more thought-through book from Nicolle and Lindholm. Sadly, this is not the case.

Factual errors abound and the authors happily ignores a great deal of both written and pictorial evidence to support their theories, particulary about the backwardness of Sweden and Norway in military terms. As the "guide to further reading" is populated almost solely by outdated literature, one suspects little effort has been made to provide an up-to-date picture.

One of the authors also manages to bring out an old hobby horse-theme; the interesting idea that Viking age one-edged swords were inspired by eastern fashion is presented - despite the fact that one-edged swords have been around in the north since the early iron ages. While many medieval developments may have arisen from eastern contacts, this idea seems like mere speculation. This is merely one of several glaring errors in this below-standards book.

One can also wonder why the book has the timespan 1100 to 1300 attached to it. By ending the book around 1300 the author cuts an artificial barrier into a period of great activity in scandinavia, both political and military - the period of the mid-nordic realm of the swedish duke Erik, in which the three scandinavian kingdoms clash both on the battlefield, dynastically and politically.

On the illustrations, McBride shows himself as a capable but rather creative illustrator - the strange stockiness of his figures, plus the abundance of fur coats with the fur turned out, make them seem a bit more like movie barbarians than medieval northerners. The clothing on civilians, and quite a few of the warriors, in all plates of the book seem to be inspired more by the popular image of viking age clothing than the plethora of scandinavian evidence available - the altar frontal collections of the Historical Museum in Bergen alone could have provided him with much inspiration. Unfortunately, McBride chose to resort to imagination instead.

One can only hope that other english-speaking scholars try to do a more thorough job when, or rather if, a similar and hopefully more valuable volume on the military aspect of medieval nordic culture appears.

A great insight into the followers of the Vikings!.......2004-03-06

I just finished this book, and I loved it! I have always been interested in the Viking period, and I was curious about their successors.
The writer does a great job in giving us an overview of the military history of the Northern nations, of the shift from the Viking influences to the feudal culture of Europe, but at the same time developing their unique own military culture.
Angus MacBride's illustrations are a beautiful guide to this evolution. As a fan of the Icelandic sagas, I especially enjoyed his illustration of the Northern Atlantic settlements folks.
As with most of the Osprey Books, we are given a glimpse of history, and I am usually thirsting for more, but they are great start with excellant writing and illustrations. This is a great introduction.

Book Description

While Scandinavia's 'Viking Age' is one of the most studied aspects of early medieval history, much less has been published about the centuries which followed. Yet the armies of Sweden, Norway and Denmark offer fascinating differences from the rest of medieval Western Europe, both in their organisation and their war gear. This second of two books covers the period which saw both expansion in the Baltic, and long wars born of the attempt to bring Scandinavia under a single monarchy - the Union of Kalmar. In the North, as elsewhere, the perfection of plate armour could not prevent the steady decline in the importance of the 15th century mounted knight in favour of the well armed infantryman.

More Scandinavian Warriors.......2007-04-07

A fine introduction and an essential companion for the first volume and for the Baltic Crusades title; usual awesome plates.

An odd account of medieval Scandinavian armies.......2006-07-31

This second volume from Osprey on medieval Scandinavian armies deals with the time-period 1300-1500, but like the first volume it's sadly a let down, certainly it's not mr Nicolle's best effort. The photos are undeniably good, showing surviving weaponry, effegies and painting from Scandinavian countries. The text however leaves much to ask for, as it's too short to properly cover the major wars and campaigns fought in Scandinavia during these two centuries. The result is a book providing a quite brief description of common standard arms and armour used throughout late medieval Europe: Actually this would apply for any medieval army at that time. Nicolle could just as much have put the exact same information in a book on late medieval german or french armies: the Scandinavian perspective is unfortunatly pretty absent. Then there's the weird and annoying focus on Greenland in the chronology, as Greenland at the time was a very small, remote nordic settlement with no political and especially no military significance whatsoever! Very odd indeed, especially as much, much more important events in Scandinavia are ignored in the very same text... Thus, the reader will get a quite odd, at best extremely superficial and incomplete account of warfare and politics in late medieval Scandinavia.

The illustrations by Angus McBride are wonderfully painted, and compared to the plates in volume 1 they are somewhat better researched, although I wouldn't say they accurately represent the appearance medieval Scandinavian fighting men. Plates B and C however, showing the Danes fighting the Gotland peasants at Visby in 1361, are completely inaccurate, featuring heavily armoured peasant soldiers (in reality excavations at the battlefield show us that the Gotland militia at Visby - a last desperate stand by the reserve forces - comprised of old men and young boys, badly armed and armoured). The appearance of the Saami (called "Lapps" in this volume) in plate H is also highly speculative, and actually looks nothing like the later saami costume it's supposed to be based on according to the plate-commentary.

I give this book 2 stars as it's somewhat useful and the photographies are interesting. But I'd highly suggest a reader seriously interested in the topic to check additional litterature to get a more balanced account of wars, battles, politics and warfare in late medieval Scandinavia

Book Description

While the destruction of the World Trade Center and the strike against the Pentagon shocked the world at large, experts on terrorism like Walter Laqueur couldn't feign complete surprise. In No End to War, Laqueur, who has devoted three decades to the study of political violence, answers the most-often raised questions about terrorism in the light of 9/11 and the still unsolved Anthrax letters. First, what constitutes terrorism? What is new about the "new" terrorism? Why is the Muslim world the most potent breeding ground of this new terrorism? To what extent is religion itself a factor? Is there a clash of civilizations between the Muslim world and the largely Christian or post-Christian West? Is America at fault? Israel? Did European nations turn a blind eye to terrorists and their sympathizers in their midst? To what extent are poverty and oppression the causes of terrorism? What is the likelihood that terrorists will obtain weapons of mass destruction-chemical, biological, or nuclear? Why was the United States unprepared for 9/11? Why the intelligence failure? Are Islamic terrorists the only terrorists we need to fear? What about other terrorists from the right of the left, ecoterrorists or anti-globalization terrorists? And finally, what is the best defense against terrorism?

Well written but not very thoughtful.......2004-11-22

The more I thought about this book, the less I liked it.

Oh, there is plenty to like about the book. It discusses roots of terrorism, jihad, suicide missions, intelligence failures by the West, anti-Americanism, and future potential battlefields.

It defines terrorism as "the systematic use of murder, injury, and destruction, or threat of such acts, aimed at achieving political ends." And it mocks those who insist on calling terrorists "activists" as though they were merely devoting some time to a political party or local club. He asks if we then ought to call Jack the Ripper "an amateur abdominal surgeon."

Laqueur explains that the main threat now is the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. He also discusses the connection between terrorists and the drug trade but points out that these groups are not natural allies: criminals want to preserve the status quo that keeps them in business, while terrorists want to mess things up.

And the author points out that there is no end in sight to terror: the terrorists will go on fighting for a very long time whether we fight back or not. For example, many Islamists believe that it is a sin against nature to allow Jews to exist in Jerusalem or Israel. This is not conducive to peace.

Laqueur also points out cases in which media supporters of terror have gone way out of bounds, including the Guardian, in England.

But there was one thing about this book that got me thinking more than any other. Namely the claim that Israel was foolish not to have surrendered the entire West Bank to the Arabs - any Arabs - immediately after winning the six-day war, even without any truce or peace or anything. Was this just a slip on Laqueur's part, or a symptom of poor thinking about terrorism in general?

I think it is a symptom of a more serious problem in the author's thinking. After all, there are two errors we see here. First, we see the claim that it would have been moral and practical for a land-poor nation to give disputed land to an enemy that holds itself to be superior and holds you to be trash. Second, we see the claim that it would be possible to convince the majority of the people in a democracy to simply roll over and unilaterally surrender their rights to an annihilationist enemy, given the disastrous results they had doing just that in World War 2. And I think this is a symptom of a larger problem of blaming ourselves just a little too much for the sins of the criminals who attack us.

What I think Laqueur needs to do is adopt some moral standards. There is a difference between being just and unjust. One can try to pretend that one does not know who one is, a Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Christian, Chinese, Arab, American, man, woman, adult, child, or whatever. And then try to come up with a just solution, knowing that one would find out who one was only afterwards. That would help clarify blame a little better. Another question Laqueur ought to ask is this: is he refusing to demand rights for his "friends" that he routinely demands for his enemies? I think he fails both questions on this little test. There is no need to make matters worse by alienating people who have the option of supporting terrorism, but I think that outright appeasement is almost always terribly counterproductive, and tends to establish a right of the terrorists to attack and oppress others.

So I'll give this book three stars. I don't recommend it. I think you ought to go out and buy Sharansky's book (The Case for Democracy) instead. Or maybe Paul Berman's (Terror and Liberalism). What we all need is truth and moral clarity. And this book gives us quite a bit of it, but not enough.

a good start.......2004-10-25

This new book on terrorism is quick to be honest in showing that while Islamic terrorism is by no means the only terrorism, it is in fact the greatest threat to the world today. This book builds on other books on the topic of terrorism focusing mostly on the second half of the 20th century. Here we learn also about the `battlefields' of the future where terrorism will certainly bring new conflicts to China and India and Southeast Asia. Already one sees this books predictions proving themselves in Thailand and the Phillipines. A good study and a great edition to the post 9/11 terrorist literature.

An Important Book.......2004-08-08

Like many Americans, I'm searching for some explanation of the terrorism that has befallen us. Although I'm an avid reader of several good daily newspapers, no analysis found in those pages has provided me with any particular insight. What I was looking for, however, I found in Walter Laqueur's No End To War.

Laqueur is a scholar who has devoted much of his career to studying and writing about terrorism. His book provides an historical perspective to today's terrorism, which he demonstrates differs markedly and frighteningly from the terrorism of the past. He debunks many popular myths about today's terrorists, such as that terrorism is caused by poverty, or that the peaceful settlement of disputes, which necessarily involves compromises, will stop the terrorists from further atrocities. Laqueur admits that much is not known about terrorism, and he proposes no particular one course of action on how to stop terrorism, thereby thankfully rendering his book non-political. On the other hand, there is a great deal of knowledge on the subject and much of it is contained in these pages.

I read this book slowly and with a highlighter in hand. I have gained from it some understanding of terrorism, which I had previously lacked. The book is difficult reading in part because it is not elegantly written. However, what it lacks in style and organization, it more than makes up for in information and wisdom. I'm going to read many parts of it a second and third time. The one adjective that best describes my view of this is book is "important."

Great detail but disorganized.......2003-12-19

For facts and details this book is a marvel. You will not only learn about the situation regarding terrorism in different parts of the world but about groups and splinter groups and how they differ on their philosophy toward terror. The author's knowledge of the field is truly encyclopedic. The book is not tightly organized and several times I wondered where the author was going with his line of thought and how, exactly, it tied in to the chapter title. Laqueur doesn't like to leave an issue without a thorough examination and more than once he would pull himself back to the topic after a discourse. I got the impression that this book may have been hurried to publication. However, his thought is so interesting that I was willing to hear him out. Loaded with details, this book might be a bit hard to digest for someone looking for a good, easily readable overview of the field and recent history of terrorism. A better book for that is Jonathan White's "Terrorism: An Introduction". I finished Laqueur's book thinking what a complicated and dangerous political situation exists in so many parts of the world and how "progress" is a fragile thing, mostly a matter of people having money and lots of goodies to spend it on instead of raging at each other. You don't get overly irritated with others if you have enough money to be preoccupied with your own comfort and possessions in a place of your own. Americans such as I are truly clueless about the depth of turmoil and resentment that roils the world. Laqueur lets us see how there are many fanatics that can loosely organize for a cause, and quite a few mentally disturbed individuals who have a cause all their own. Both the groups and the individuals are using more powerful means to terrorize. The future has always been unpredictable, but now it will be more explosive than ever.

A must read for those determining U.S. foreign policy.......2003-07-21

Laqueur's book is an excellent source of background information for those interested in approaching the issue of terrorism as objectively as possible. For those lacking the time to read this work in its entirety, the conclusion is a must-read. It is hoped that Bush, Powell and Rice, and their advisors, have the opportunity to share Laqueur's views as they develop foreign policy for our nation.
