This is some good, some bad. Overall, it's a good read.
I dogeared my copy of "From Beirut to Jerusalem" that I bought when I was fifteen. So Tom and I go way back. LOL

A friend recommended it and gave me a copy years ago, but I couldn't get into it. I think it's kicking around the basement somewhere among the books sufficiently unloved not to be on a shelf. Should I dig it out and try again? I'm now reading The Arab Mind (1973) by Raphael Patai. Very good. This guy is a Hungarian-born Jew who likes the Arabs, but it's an extremely unflattering portrait of Arab culture. It's a must read.

Another fan of "From Beirut to Jerusalem"...
