Subject: RE: BS: Falsehoods About Arabs Used by DoD
further from the above linked article:

Patai died in 1996, but his book was revived by Hatherleigh Press in 2002 (nicely timed for the war in Iraq), and reprinted with an
enthusiastic introduction by Norvell "Tex" De Atkine, a former US army colonel and the head of Middle East studies at Fort Bragg.
"It is essential reading," De Atkine wrote. "At the institution where I teach military officers, The Arab Mind forms the basis of my cultural
instruction."


As noted this book was reprinted in 2002, with the new introduction by De Atkine and last time I checked through Google a few days ago, De Atkine was still head of Middle East studies at John F Kennedy Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg.

As I said on the other thread, when I first posted this article Chief Chaos, this material referred to that which is used by the Army, by Tex's own proud admission.
