"Lewis reviews the history of the Middle East and the evolution of the 3 book religions in that area. The complexities of their various times of live-and-let-live to I'm right, you are wrong is never ending. The separation of church and state that Christians and Jews practice is a contrast to the Muslims combination of church and state. All three support the belief in one God which separates them from the other major religions of the world - they just wrangle over who has that one God!!!"
"I love Bernard Lewis, he is a very qualified, sound, and objective writer. This book was my starting point on a question I had many years ago about Israel, and the make-up of the Mid East. Every American should read this book...especially those that love to have opinions about the middle east today but don't even realize how ignorant they are. This book introduces some of the West's responsibility in getting us to where we are today."
"Short read. I feel Lewis could have dived a little deeper, but it is meant to just give an overview and some introduction to how Middle Easterners view themselves and those around them. Religion, language, culture, ethnicity, he covers them all, and shows where more value it placed, and by whom."
