<DIV><P><B>“If you’re only going to read one book on the Middle East, this is it.”---Seymour M. Hersh<BR><BR></B>One of the most thought-provoking books ever written about the Middle East, <I>From Beirut to Jerusalem</I> remains vital to our understanding of this complex and volatile region of the world. Three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman drew upon his ten years of experience reporting from Lebanon and Israel to write this now-classic work of journalism. In a new afterword, he updates his journey with a fresh discussion of the Arab Awakenings and how they are transforming the area, and a new look at relations between Israelis and Palestinians, and Israelis and Israelis. Rich with anecdote, history, analysis, and autobiography, <I>From Beirut to Jerusalem </I>will continue to shape how we see the Middle East for many years to come. </DIV>
