From Beirut to Jerusalem

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."
