An essential new book for understanding the unstable 21st century, The 9/11 Wars, is written by Jason Burke, a witness to many of the key moments of conflict.

In another book, readers can get the inside story on the United States government's approach to battling terrorism. The book is The Black Banners, Inside the Hunt For Al Qaeda by Ali Soufan.

On another topic, all-round troublemaker Michael Moore breaks the mold again with Here Comes Trouble, Stories From My Life. More like an anti-memoir, his 20 hilarious anecdotes are well worth reading.
