60 year old U.S. government assessment of Islamic world

I'm a history geek, so I get a little more excited about these things than others, but this is something I think most will find interesting. Daniel Pipes brings us the story of a 60 year old formerly classified assessment of the Islamic world that turned out to be pretty accurate. You can read Pipes article here and the now unclassified file here. The PDF of the assessment is large, but it is well worth the wait.
