From Beirut to Jerusalem

An excellent and informative piece of work. I learned so much about the jews, islams and the christians in Lebanon. It helped me to better understand the culture in the mideast and what we are dealing with.

If you want to gain a serious understanding of the conflict that the Arab world has with Israel, this is the book to read.

Still One of the most exciting books and Relevant to understanding Muddle East.

Is a must read if you are interested in understanding the complex Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It is a great look at the situation during the 80's. Friedman has changed some of the views he has in this book since 9/11. Compare and contrast his pre and post 9/11 books, very interesting.
