Bruce Feiler, the bestselling author of Walking the Bible and Abraham, examines the biblical and historical underpinnings of the Muslim world's present-day uprisings. As conflicts rock the Middle East, Feiler returns to the region to explore how the sectarian and political conflicts in Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, Israel, and Palestine represent a collision between modern-day political tensions, centuries of deeply ingrained religious traditions, and deeply entrenched cultural divides. Joining the ranks of Thomas Friedman and Fareed Zakaria, Feiler offers a book of powerful, transformative insight, uniquely illuminating a region in turmoil whose problems have long been clouded in confusion.
