View from the Eye of the Storm: Terror And Reason in the Middle East

In 2004, in a short speech called "A View from the Eye of the Storm," physicist Haim Harari offered a penetrating analysis of the components of terror in our time, and presented a passionate call for a new era in the Middle East. When the speech leaked onto the Internet it caused a worldwide sensation. Now as the world faces a new era of burgeoning Islamic terrorism - Harari reaches further, to offer this serious yet accessible survey of Middle Eastern war and peace. As he observes, the "peristent ugly storm" engulfing the Arab world is far more than a territorial battle with Isreal: It is an "undeclared World War III." And unless the free nations of the world mobilize to stop it, Harari argues, this new war will continue to cause bloodshed on all continents. As a Fifth-generation Israeli-born observer, Harari dissects the media's lopsided portrait of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
