No pic for this one
Rather dated but still a good read. Not much has happened in the Middle East since '74 anyway. Good to read an Arab perspective on Israel. Yes they got screwed. It's been 60 years, get over it. Easy for me to say I know. Some people still relive the Civil War and that' been 150 years, so what can you say? People hold grudges. A lot of this book is a history of the middle east all the way back to the crusades. Very informative. There is a heavy bias towards the Palestinians and that's fine. Not wanting to get into the politics of this. Wrongs have been committed on both sides. Can't we all just get along?
Grade - A
next up - The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
