Thomas L. Friedman, twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting and 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 this seminal historical work. Now with a new chapter that brings the ever-changing history of the conflict in the Middle East up to date, the book reaffirms both its timeliness and its timelessness.
