Guardian Unlimited | World dispatch | 'Its best use is as a doorstop': "The book...takes some of the hoariest old prejudices about black people and applies them to Arabs....According to one professor at a US military college, The Arab Mind is 'probably the single most popular and widely read book on the Arabs in the US military'. It is even used as a textbook for officers at the JFK special warfare school in Fort Bragg....None of the academics I contacted thought the book suitable for serious study, although Georgetown University once invited students to analyse it as 'an example of bad, biased social science'."
