读过《From Beirut to Jerusalem》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
黎巴嫩部分太震撼了，完全超越sadness的madness，特別psychological research（人類觀察）部分，貝魯特人的精神生活，值得反復閱讀思考。以色列部分就熟悉的多了，就看得很快，只是討論mentality部分看到了一些我不熟悉的探討。不過作者寫作的年代，說的是holocaust一代或二代，經歷獨立戰爭六日戰爭贖罪日戰爭黎巴嫩戰爭的以色列人，跟我所熟悉的以色列人早已不是同一批。這麼說起來，這幾十年來以色列人的mentality變化，也是一個很好的人類觀察example… 能從作者描述的變成我所熟悉的這樣，其實也算是一件值得令人高興的事

"If you're only going to read one book on the Middle East, this is it."---Seymour M. Hersh
One of the most thought-provoking books ever written about the Middle East, From Beirut to Jerusalem remains vital to our understanding of this complex and volatile region of the world. Three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman drew upon his ten years of experience reporting from Lebanon and Israel to write this now-classic work of journalism. In a new afterword, he updates his journey with a fresh discussion of the Arab Awakenings and how they are transforming the area, and a new look at relations between Israelis and Palestinians, and Israelis and Israelis. Rich with anecdote, history, analysis, and autobiography, From Beirut to Jerusalem will continue to shape how we see the Middle East for many years to come.
“The most intelligent and comprehensive account one is likely to read.” ―The New York Times Book Review
“A book that must be read by all who are concerned about the present and future of a part of our world to which Western civilization has always been, and will continue to be, vitally connected.” ―The Washington Post Book World
“A sparkling intellectual guidebook…An engrossing journey not to be missed.” ―The Wall Street Journal
“A complex, illuminating vision written with a novelist's eye for the telling detail and a reporter's knack for the revealing quote.” ―San Francisco Chronicle
“Perhaps no other book written for a popular audience has so successfully explained the unexplainable….This book is an annotated road map to the past, and a brilliant crystal ball for the future.” ―St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“Fascinating...Friedman has mastered his subject.” ―Time
