-Chaim Potol, Washinton Post Book World
"From Beirut to Jerusalem is the most intelligent and comprehensive account one is likely to read".

| This is one of those books that I've heard is a "must read." Anyone interested in Middle Eastern affairs should find it fascinating and informative. |

| Yeah, it is a must read. I learned a great deal from it, but it's also a decade or so old. ***************

| Plus Friedman's book isn't the most accurate account out there. Instead, I'd recommend William Cleveland's A History of the Modern Middle East for a more solid understanding of the region. |
