From Amazon.co.uk:
Determined to deliver the whole Middle East story, ABC news reporter Engel moved to Cairo in 1996, having learnt "street" Arabic. Then in order to dig himself even deeper into the complicated powder-keg of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he settled in Jerusalem. Now as Iraq enters its post-war phase and the Gulf region continues to dominate the news, Engel's analytical and anecdotal account cuts through the spin of big budget news reporting to tell it like it is, from the point of view of someone on the ground who is in touch with the reality of what is happening.
Bought at the Blacktown Library book sale.
