Publisher Description

"Feiler’s combination of journalism, commentary and self-discoverytells the reader volumes about humankind.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution onAbraham

BruceFeiler, the bestselling author of Walking theBible and Abraham,examines the biblical and historical underpinnings of the Muslim world'spresent-day uprisings. As conflicts rock the Middle East, Feilerreturns to the region to explore how the sectarian and political conflicts in Libya,Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, Israel, and Palestine represent a collision betweenmodern-day political tensions, centuries of deeply ingrained religioustraditions, and deeply entrenched cultural divides. Joining the ranks of ThomasFriedman and Fareed Zakaria,Feiler offers a book of powerful, transformativeinsight, uniquely illuminating a region in turmoil whose problems have longbeen clouded in confusion.

"The demand for an increase in communication with/and understanding of "Generation Freedom" is worth the purchase of this book. A new generation is rising in the Middle East, one that Americans may have more in common with than we think."

    " good impressionistic account of the Egyptian uprising, but fails utterly by trying to explain it purely from the vantage point of religious hoopla "

    " I feel bad giving this book a bad review because the author clearly has his heart in the right place, but nonetheless, I will. The thesis is poorly argued, the metaphors are overly simplistic, and I learned absolutely nothing about the Arab Spring that I didn't already know. "
