Modern farming's withdrawal of green water is like an openended blood donation - the planet's surface, in developed areas, is becoming cadaverous as its life drains away. The promise of supplying and controlling water has been central to the idea of civilisation since its beginnings in southern Iraq in the 4th millennium BC- irrigation transformed farming into a less risky, more productive pursuit, which in turn fed a population boom and the growth of cities. Tony Allan, finance professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London and the grandfather of water studies, estimates that there are 17 million people living in the Jordan Basin -but sustainable water supplies for just one million.

The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001 (Penguin, 2004) is the most comprehensive survey so far of America's exact relationship with Osama bin Laden and his fellow Arab Afghans in the two decades preceding 9/11. Why the West is Losing the War on Terror (Brassey's, 2004), is to construct Osama bin Laden as just such an enemy: rational not mad, driven by specific grievances such as America's support for Israel and the presence of American troops on Saudi soil.
