Summary
No issue in international politics has been more hotly debated than the Arab-Israeli conflict. And no reporter has illuminated both the conflict and the rhythms of life in the Middle East with more immediacy and brilliance than Friedman, a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting. Whether it's extremism, terrorism, or fundamentalism on right and left, Friedman puts all the operative currents into perspective with an inimitable specificity and clarity.

beautiful read, beautiful book
love it. As an Israeli this should be in the curriculum.
So true, therefore, so sad.

Was hoping for more
More of a personal account of someone who lived in the region during the early 80s. I was hoping for more historical context to the conflict, which there was very little.
Well written and easy to follow. Was just hoping for more.

Highly recommended!
One of the most captivating audio books I have listened to in a while. The book is more than ten years old but Thomas Friedman's story of life in Beirut during the war is timeless. Also brilliantly narrated and excellent technical quality of the recording. Highly recommended.

Amazing but too short
I understood before purchasing this audiobook that a 630 pages book could not only be 3 hrs audio, while it is still a disappointment that only (very very) small part of the book is made into audio. This audiobook plays more an intro role of this extraordinary book. The book is definitely a MUST READ to anyone who's interested in that region or journalism or psychological matters etc.

Very interesting & easy listen
It is an interesting and fast listen, though a bit too short to be an analysis or a recount of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Biased against Israel
The author tries to humanize Hamas, the same terrorist outfit that kills children and innocent civilians as a matter of policy. He tries to argue that Israel does not face an existential threat when Iran is closer to a nuclear bomb and much of Europe has a growing Muslim population that is pushing for anti Israel policies. Read this to get a sense for life in Beirut in the 80s but nothing else.

False equivalence and anti Israel bias
He declares himself not to be an anti-Israel Jew but he smiles at the murderous chaos of the Lebanon streets with warm indulgence whilst criticising Israel's desire for quiet and surfing as superficial and contemptible. He views Israel's insistence on remembering and honouring the Holocaust and its fallen soldiers, the deepest trauma of its citizens, as lamentable, if not contemptible.
