description: If a reader is interested in the forces at work in world history instead of in current propaganda, he will be rewarded if he makes the effort to understand the Arabs for themselves instead of viewing them narrowly through the lens of the tragic Arab-Israeli competition for a corner of the Middle East, or merely as the suppliers of our petroleum.It is my object in this book to portray a major component of the world population and to perceive in all of its dimensions a culture that must be understood for its own sake, and also for its bearing on the quest for world peace. - from the Preface by the author.
