Kurzbeschreibung
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.

Format:Taschenbuch
It really was a pleasure reading this book. Friedman explains clearly the war in Lebanon: the causes and the events. And it not limited only to Lebanon and Israel. His analysis includes Syria, the Palestinians, and to a lesser extend the other countries of the region.
This book is filled with anecdotes, which allow a smooth reading of a subject otherwise very blur and complicated. Friedman tells you about his apartment building in Beirut being blown up, or about the warlord who is waking up the owner of a delicatessen in the middle of the night for some ... caviar.
If you are curious about what happened in the Middle East, but don't want to spent ages dwelling on many complicated political books, then I highly recommend this book. It should be enough.
Format:Taschenbuch
Äußerst tiefe Einblicke und Zusammenhänge in die Nahostpolitik werden leicht lesbar und klar verständlich ausgedrückt. Ein Lesevergnügung und Weiterbildung zugleich.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book offers something which is rarely found when looking for books on the modern history of the Middle East: Everyone gets their share. Mind you, it is not a neutral book and neither is it objective, it is Friedman's own view of the region. But the book's critical account of the author's time as a correspondent in the region is an eye opener, bluntly unmasking and explaining diplomatic phrasings, official memorandums, amateur opinions and the psyche of Middle Eastern characters (and American Jews) in general.
Friedman might not always be right or accurate to the point, but the majority of the messages contained in his 600 pages monograph is still of great value. It's amazing how many of his predictions and remarks actually fit the current situation (as of 2008!), an indication of how well he understands his subject.
Even if it might already seem like an old book, it is by no means outdated and highly recommended probably for years to come.
