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 preface, he updates his journey with a fresh analysis of the region today, setting the Gazan war that began with Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, as well as the Saudi-Iranian rivalry and epochal changes in the Gulf, in the context of a conflict between networks of \"inclusion\" and \"resistance\" that has defined the area in recent decades. Rich with anecdote, history, analysis, and autobiography, \u003ci\u003eFrom Beirut to Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e will continue to shape how we see the Middle East for many years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas L.
