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.-
