Horrifying. Reading this book was possibly the most wrenching literary experience of my life. Exhaustively researched and noted (the narrative covers barely more than half of the book's 430 printed pages, the rest are notes, references, etc.), this must be considered the most important and complete historical account of what is, without any question, the blackest hour of LDS church history. As a Mormon myself, I have no words for that awful scene. The historians do an admirable job of placing the massacre in its proper historical context, and they are unflinching in their condemnation of its perpetrators, regardless of what the Latter-day Saints had endured in their relatively short history and what they feared was coming at the hands of the government and other settlers. Certainly those who planned and carried out the murders recognized that there was no excuse for what they had done. I am not a big "moral of the story" kind of reader, but this book ought to give anyone, and certainly Mormons in particular, pause. The fact that otherwise good faithful church leaders allowed themselves to be caught up in the frenzied paranoia of that moment to such a degree that they would even consider, let alone carry out, this atrocity should cause each of us to think about our assumptions, how we might allow our emotions, assumptions, and personal fears to govern our actions. We dare not assume that such a deed could not be emulated, to one degree or another, in our day.

When I first read this book it instilled in me a wonderous vision. When I read it again it filled me with a critical history. When I picked it up a few years later, I read it as a man searching. In this, it's great. This book changed the direction of my life. It was not because I was lost, for I still am lost today, but it showed me that people do change the worlds in changing themselves. The book is an autobiographical account of an Austrian Jew named Leopold Weiss who through time and experience becomes Muhammad Asad. This is a vignette of his life from his childhood in Europe to his work in Jerusalem and his wandering in Arabia at the behest of then King AbdulAziz Ibn al-Saud. Asad is a journalist, and his book is a wonderful anecdote. The stories are great, but moreso is the weightiness of his message. It's written in an old world style when there was a heroism to that which people did. The house of Saud is characterized as one rarely sees them... human. But amidst its history, religion, and talks of self, there is this idea of journeying towards something. I like this book the same reason I like Kerouac , but it means more simply on part with its religious undertone, and the nature of the man. Asad's book leaves him after Arabia, but, in life, he goes on to serve in the U.N., translate an authoritative scholaraly version of the Quran, and befriend kings, ministers, and people who shaped the 20th century. This less review than hero-worship, but if the first chapter doesn't grab you. I'd say nothing I review will.
