Additional From Beirut to Jerusalem Information
|
In this book the author seeks to understand the political causes and psychological effects of the conflicts in the Middle East. He sketches the prelude to the troubles, and places the events of 1979 to 1988 in their historical context while examining the course and meaning of the Lebanese civil wars, the Syrian self-mutilation at Hama, the refugee-camp massacres at Sabra and Shatila, and all the other terrible episodes in this apparently endless war. Thomas Friedman won two Pulitzer Prizes for his journalistic work in the Middle East.

This is a great book for understanding the culture and situation in the middle east. After reading this book i have a much better understanding of the politics and motivations of the middle east countries. I't's also very gratifying that the author has an unbiased and neutral view of all parties involved.
The book was in very good condition and arrived promptly. I'm so pleased I may order additional copies.
I am going to Beruit in August and I find the book fascinating. Sandy Tracey
I now have such a better understanding of this area, geography, cultures, religions. A great read.very well written. A must read prior to travel in this part of the world.
I have always admired Thomas Friedman as an insightful writer of truth. I have often wondered why his opinions are not solicited by U.S. Although a Jew his writing is impartial. He clearly states that he has friends both Israeli and Arab, and has been criticized by his American countrymen. government officials, but perhaps no one wants to face the truth that on all sides of the Middle Eastern difficulties there are human beings whose opinions need to be heard and their concerns recognized.In an spellbinding anecdotal presentation of the facts Mr. Friedman treats the reader with substance often lacking in the usual reporting that at best presents a few highlights of daily events.Kenneth Ray Taylor author of Standup Comedian: The Secret and Beyond
