Opis

Jeremy Bowen's highly acclaimed account of the region he has reported on for more than thirty years - the Middle East.

Recenzje

Jeremy Bowen is one of the finest journalists and broadcasters of our age - qualities which shine through every page of this superb book. Written with modesty, grace and compassion, his account of 30 years working in the Middle East for the BBC combines his own personal experience with and a rare understanding of what makes this tortured region so dangerously combustible. His judgements are invariably balanced but when they are due he does not shrink from scathing criticisms of the key actors. The result is an illuminating and riveting read. Jonathan Dimbleby, broadcaster, author and historian
