From Beirut to Jerusalem (With a New Preface)

<p><b>“If you’re only going to read one book on the Middle East, this is it.” —Seymour M. Hersh</b><br><br><b>Winner of the National Book Award | A National Bestseller</b><br><br><b>A modern classic of Middle Eastern reportage, now with a new preface by the author.</b><br><br>One of the most thought-provoking books ever written about the Middle East, <i>From Beirut to Jerusalem</i> 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 preface, he updates his journey with a fresh analysis of the region today, setting the Gazan war that began with Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, as well as the Saudi-Iranian rivalry and epochal changes in the Gulf, in the context of a conflict between networks of “inclusion” and “resistance” that has defined the area in recent decades. Rich with anecdote, history, analysis, and autobiography, <i>From Beirut to Jerusalem</i> will continue to shape how we see the Middle East for many years to come.</p>
