Opis

This title brings together reportage and reflections on the state of the world leading up to and after September 11, 2001. Travelling throughout the Middle East and Europe, Thomas Friedman talks to the world's leading political figures, as well as the men and woman in bazaars, schools and alleyways, developing and refining his perspective on the new kind of war the West finds itself fighting. In this collection, Friedman gives voice to our awakening sense of a radically new world and our own complex place in it. His commentary provides a trenchant perspective on world affairs, setting the terms of debate for the most complex and contentious issues of the world today.
