The Arabs
Journeys Beyond the Mirage
by David Lamb
The Arabs is widely considered one of the essential books for understanding
the Middle East and the peoples who live there. David Lamb, who spent years
as a correspondent in Cairo, explores the Arabs' religious, political, and
cultural views, noting the differences and key similarities between the many
segments of the Arab world. He explains Arab attitudes and actions toward
the West, including the growth of terrorism, and situates current events in
a larger historical backdrop that goes back more than a thousand years
