David Lamb, who spent years as a correspondent in Cairo, explores the Arabs' religious, political, and cultural views, noting the differences and key similarities between the many segments of the Arab world. He explains Arab attitudes and actions toward the West, including the growth of terrorism, and situates current events in a larger historical backdrop that goes back more than a thousand years. Now thoroughly revised and updated, The Arabs takes the story up to 2001. Lamb analyzes the developments that led to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and helps the reader to understand how things got to that point. A veteran journalist, Lamb combines his extensive experience in covering international politics with his deeply informed insider's knowledge to provide an intimate portrait of the Arab world today. 000734456 651_0 $$aArab countries. 000734456 85200 $$bgen$$hDS36.7$$i.L35$$i1987 000734456 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:734456$$pGLOBAL_SET 000734456 980__ $$aBIB 000734456 980__ $$aBOOK
