Title: A must read, along with Dune, in light of current events
Review: I first read the Dune series in the late 80's after the first movie came out. I have just begun re-reading them after 9/11. I particulary find the manipulation of politics and religion by first the Bene Gesserits and then by Paul to be quite interesting in light of the current events. For those who have only seen the movie, Paul may seem to be a romantic hero. However in a 1980 interview Frank Herbert compared Paul Atreides to Hitler, and warned of the dangers of a charismatic leader gaining influence on a population. I reccomend that people read Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. You may see some comparisons to our current "war".
