Who Hates Whom: Well-Armed Fanatics, Intractable Conflicts, and Various Things Blowing Up A Woefully Incomplete Guide

The daily news gives you events but rarely context. So what do al-Qaeda, North Korea, and Iran really want? Which faction is which in Iraq and whoâ€™s arming whom? Whatâ€™s the deal with Somalia, Darfur, and Kashmir? Fatah, Hamas, and Hezbollah?

Finally, hereâ€™s Who Hates Whomâ€”a handy, often stunning guide to the worldâ€™s recent conflicts, from the large and important to the completely absurd.

â€¢ Which countries are fighting over an uninhabitable glacier with no real strategic valueâ€”at an annual cost of half a billion dollars?
â€¢ Which underreported war has been the deadliest since World War IIâ€”worse even than Vietnamâ€”with a continuing aftermath worse than most current conflicts combined?
â€¢ Which royal family members were respected as godsâ€”until the crown prince machine-gunned the king and queen?
â€¢ Which countryâ€™s high school students think the Nazis had a â€œgood sideâ€? Which nationâ€™s readers recently put Mein Kampf on the bestseller list? And which other country watches itself with four million security cameras? (Hint: All three are U.S. allies.)

Detailed with more than fifty original maps, photographs, and illustrations, Who Hates Whom summarizes more than thirty global hotspots with concise essays, eye-catching diagrams, and (where possible) glimmers of kindness and hope.

In which bodies of water can you find most of the worldâ€™s active pirates? Which dictatorship is bulldozing its own villages? Where exactly are Waziristan, Bangsamoro, Kurdistan, Ituri, Baluchistan, and Jubalandâ€”and how will they affect your life and security? Find out in Who Hates Whom, a seriously amusing look at global humanityâ€”and the lack thereof.
