| I cannot stress forcefully enough the enormous importance of this book. With the current worldwide political climate, especially relating to events in the Middle East, it is essential that we understand the background and true context of news reports emanating from that region. Ultimately they will affect each and every one of us. David Lewis provides a thorough, comprehensive and incisive analysis of this very issue. His easy to read and in-depth analysis of the media reports and the political & religious background to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict is absorbing. Lewis supports his analysis through a range of thought-provoking interviews with a number of political figures who possess a vast knowledge of the historical and political core issues of the present unrest. Having read this book, one will forever examine our TV News and International Media reports with a fresh outlook. This book is of great assistance in achieving just that. |
