Rating  - Amazing evaluation
This book is so amazing, just for the neutral opinion that the author has throughout all its chapters. Well of course, its been written as an eyes of an American, but none the less it is quite absorbing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is intrigues by the complexity of the region.
This book brings back to life the question I always asked myself, 'how come Yaseer Arafat received the Noble peace prize' which proves the fact that' one persons terrorist is other persons freedom fighter!!!!'
Definitely read it, you will not be disappointed. The humor in the book all through is outstanding.
Rating - A GREAT book to read if you really want to learn about the people behind the headlines-
I read this book right before I moved to Israel when I was 24 years old in 1996. This book helped to greatly broaden my perspective and empathy for people on all sides of the Middle East conflicts. Its also the complete opposite of a dry read. Its packed with personal stories and anecdotes that deeply personalize the plights of people on all sides. I think if I hadn't read this book first, I would have landed in Israel considerably more ignorant, arrogant, and just plain dumb.
Rating - Best
Without a doubt, the most informative, intelligent and unbiased writer on the Middle East. A must read for anyone interested in the past or the furure of the Region.
Rating  - Insight into How the Middle East Works
This book was recommended to me by a Friend, after 9/11, to help me understand the "thinking" in that area. Since then I have done a great deal of research but this was my "starter" book. I found it to be excellent in giving the true complexity of what has been and is now going on in that area
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a history lesson on the Civil War of the 80's in Lebanon and then, compare what happened then to what is happening now.
I find it fascinating to hear what the perceived solutions to the problems at the time were, what was done, and what has happened since.
