About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Vintage Books, 1988. Trade Paperback. Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The Arabs is widely considered one of the essential books for understanding the Middle East and the peoples who live there. 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, and events in a larger historical backdrop that goes back more than a thousand years. This book is a great introduction into many aspects of Arab culture. Highly recommend it to anyone before making a decision about current Arab-American relations. As we in the West still focus on Middle Eastern states and their government institutions when formulating policy, Lamb's book provides an interesting view of what's happening on the streets of the Middle East: the views, habits, and perspectives of ordinary Arabs. 333 pages..
