Bernard Lewis is recognized around the globe as one of the leading
authorities on Islam. Hailed as "the world's foremost Islamic
scholar" (Wall Street Journal), as "a towering figure among experts
on the culture and religion of the Muslim world" (Baltimore Sun),
and as "the doyen of Middle Eastern studies" (New York Times),
Lewis is nothing less than a national treasure, a trusted voice
that politicians, journalists, historians, and the general public
have all turned to for insight into the Middle East.
Now, this revered authority has brought together writings and
lectures that he has written over four decades, featuring his
reflections on Middle Eastern history and foreign affairs, the
Iranian Revolution, the state of Israel, the writing of history,
and much more. The essays cover such urgent and compelling topics
as "What Saddam Wrought," "Deconstructing Osama and His Evil
Appeal," "The Middle East, Westernized Despite Itself," "The
Enemies of God," and "Can Islam Be Secularized?" The collection
ranges from two English originals of articles published before only
in foreign languages, to previously unpublished writings, to his
highly regarded essays from publications such as Foreign Affairs
and The New York Review of Books. With more than fifty pieces in
all, plus a new introduction to the book by Lewis, this is a
valuable collection for everyone interested in the Middle East.
Here then is a rich repository of wisdom on one of the key areas
of the modern world--a wealth of profound reflections on Middle
Eastern history, culture, politics, and current events.
