S'està carregant… From Beirut to Jerusalem (1989)de Thomas L. Friedman
   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This was a really good book. The first section, about Lebanon and Israel's involvement in Beirut, is really excellent. The second half, about Jerusalem, is ok, but Friedman seemed to lose some of his steam there. It's as if the subject of the Israel-Palestinian conflict doesn't interest him as much as Beirut. After reading the first part, you get a pretty good understanding of the issues in Beirut, at least as Friedman experienced them, but the second half is more vague. It's more about opinion than history or events. That's my impression anyway. This book will probably be best enjoyed if you have some knowledge about the history of the conflict before diving in. (  ) SGTCat | Feb 25, 2021 |  A good cover of the 70s & 80's in Syria and Israel. A bit long-winded. (  ) fidgetyfern | Feb 23, 2021 | Quite insightful. Best part that Friedman offers practically implementable options for initiating a process that in the long run ensures never-ending peace in the Middle East. I wish such a solution makes way into Indo-Pakistan dispute as well. (  ) Mutamurid | Aug 20, 2020 | The section on Beirut I found fascinating. The section on Jerusalem less so. Perhaps just because we've heard so much about Jerusalem for so many years. ( ) WilliamMcClain | Jun 9, 2020 | gift from Jonathan, christmas 1990.

"If you're only going to read one book on the Middle East, this is it."---Seymour M. Hersh One of the most thought-provoking books ever written about the Middle East,From Beirut to Jerusalem 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,From Beirut to Jerusalemwill continue to shape how we see the Middle East for many years to come. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
