Mr. Lévy thinks Iran, Turkey, Sunni Arab States including Saudi Arabia, Russia and China form the 5 (axis of evil?) ‘kingdoms’ that the true and just and mighty ‘Empire’ aka U.S. and all the good forces in the world must unite to fight / control / stop. (the name of the book comes from a Bible story)

If you like the unhealthy mix of religion, politics, propaganda, and terror / war / military adventures with a dose of historical stupas which are used to justify division, hatred, massacre and expansionism and control over resources of a country / people / region in the name of democracy / enlightenment / human rights, creating the illusion of doing the right thing for the right reasons, then this is the book for you.
