Thomas L. Friedman's National Book Award-Winning Middle East Reportage

Published in 1989 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, From Beirut to Jerusalem is a 525-page work of geopolitical journalism and personal memoir by New York Times reporter Thomas L. Friedman.

Drawing on his decade covering the Middle East as bureau chief for UPI and The New York Times, Friedman provides a first-hand account of two distinct conflicts. The first half details the realities of the Lebanese Civil War, the rise of factional militias, the 1982 siege of Beirut, and the Sabra and Shatila massacre. The second half examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the political climate in Jerusalem, and the outbreak of the First Intifada in 1987. The book combines investigative reporting, political analysis, and interviews with key regional figures, military leaders, and local residents.

Why You'll Love This Book

Winner of the 1989 National Book Award for Nonfiction, From Beirut to Jerusalem provides foundational context for understanding modern Middle Eastern history and foreign policy. It is an essential volume for historians, political science students, journalists, and readers of international affairs.
