Product Description:
Winner of the 1989 National Book Award for nonfiction, this extraordinary bestseller is still the most incisive, thought-provoking book ever written about the Middle East. Thomas L. Friedman, twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting, and now the Foreign Affairs columnist on the op-ed page of the New York Times, drew on his ten years in the Middle East to write a book that The Wall Street Journal called 'a sparkling intellectual guidebook... an engrossing journey not to be missed.' Now with a new chapter that brings the ever-changing history of the conflict in the Middle East up to date, this seminal historical work reaffirms both its timeliness and its timelessness. 'If you're only going to read one book on the Middle East, this is it.' -- Seymour Hersh. 'From Beirut To Jerusalem is the most intelligent and comprehensive account one is likely to read.' -- New York Times Book Review.

I have often wondered why his opinions are not solicited by U.S. 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.

Rating: - The most interesting book on Middle East societies complexity
I practically loved this book...the one I had read prior to such was "Pity the Nation" by Robert Fisk and I was honestly expecting it wouldn't have been as good...but I was wrong...
Friedman, a Jewish American and Middle East correspondent during the Lebanese civil war times, gives a full image ofboth Lebanese and Israeli societies, the Palestinian factor, and not only.
His social background does not influence him in any aspect and in no point can we accuse him of being ... Read More
