This is a strikingly magnificent book! As you mentioned, it’s not an easy or quick read; it takes time to complete. Still, even a cursory dive will reward the reader.

Likewise, there are a couple of fabulous books that take on specifically the New York Times for its generations of taking an anti Jewish and anti Israel perspective. If you’re interested, I’ll let you know more.

This book should be required reading for anyone involved in the politics of the Middle East. RL’s chapter on the honour-shame, zero sum mentality of the Arab tribes is especially enlightening and shows why people are right to pessimistic about the prospects for the current ceasefire.
