From Beirut to Jerusalem: Thomas L Friedman

[Strike For The South]

Has anyone here read this book? I picked it up today for ten bucks and figured I'd give it a go.

No I have never heard of it, care to give a run down?

[Strike For The South]

I'm only on pg 44 but here is a synopsis (http://www.thomaslfriedman.com/bookshelf/from-beirut-to-jerusalem)

Could be good, I'll start looking out for it, but when you can do post us your thoughts.

I realized that I read this book after reading the synopsis. It was a while ago though. From what I can remember he had some great personal insight on the Lebanon-Israeli crisis, and helps to flesh out and explain a very complex situation, especially for those of us who don't know that much about the area. I think you'll enjoy the book.

Guess you bought the pocket with the red and yellow cover?

Read it, loved it. The best part is where he writes about 'Hama rules'. A real eye-opener, that. The funniest part is the shoot-out between ministers in the Jemenite cabinet.

Dassa old book tho, bro..

Edit
Fail. I guess ten bucks buys you the hard cover.

Well I finished the book. My favorite part was probably Israels struggle with its own identity as I never had even considered that angle.

Very insightful but with the right dash of humanity

Yes the book is older than me. Published in 88 or 89 IIRC.
