True accounts of a courageous female journalist... describing her time in the Middle East. She relates the clash of cultures and religions, the slippery notion of truth, and the effect of violence on ordinary people. What comes out is that there are no good guys, not the Americans, not the Jews, not the Muslims. The book's value is not the imparting of facts, but the conveying of life in that part of the world. I'm glad I read the book, but it is depressing.
