A Tale of Two Cultures - A Personal Account (Hardcover)

"Professor Oweiss' book recounts in clear prose the story of an active and productive life lived largely in two different cultures- Egyptian (and Middle Eastern) and American. The reader will meet many interesting personages- well known and not well known-across seven decades of important changes in the world. Ibrahim Oweiss has lived quite a life." -Carol Lancaster, Dean of the School of Foreign Service and Professor of Politics, Georgetown University. Ibrahim M. Oweiss is an educator and an international economic advisor.
