5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Rare Better Sequels, 6 April 2008
By Gary Knowles "The Truth Is Out There" (Ultimo, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An earlier review is critical of Mr Glass' sexual life. How absurd. Anybody who has read Tribes With Flags and then its sequel The Tribes Triumphant can only marvel at the author's approach to his subject following a traumatic kidnapping by Hezbollah in Beirut. Charles Glass is also one of the few authors to truly 'feel' his subject matter both through familial relations and by his on the ground reportage. If all we wanted to read on the complex Middle East subject were dry tombs we would simply sit in a vacuous campus classroom. Instead, by baring his own human frailty and failings, Mr Glass presents us with a lyrically poetic memoir that deserves its place among the best reads on such a misunderstood region. And if he had fun along the way, then good on him. He deserves it. An outstanding book in its own right, The Tribes Triumphant occupies rarified literary territory: a sequel better than the original, which, in this case, is truly amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent overview, 19 Jun 2009
this is an excellent book. very few reporters have been able to give a balanced view of the middle east like this one. a must read for anyone who wants the real situation and not from Fox News.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too much about his sex habits, 29 Mar 2008
By trixpan (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
I know, this is a weird title to a journey book but there's no way of reading this book full of clichés and misinformation and not pay attention to the narcissistic way the author presents his trip. As real Don Juan, it sounds like Mr. Gass seduces and b*ngs all the middle eastern girls he wants instead of focusing on the social political field.

As the dedicatory of the book makes clear this is a completely biased book, as anything that you can expect of something dedicated to Edward Said and Noam Chomsky. Instead of interviewing relevant parts of the political spectrum of the places he visited, Charles Glass concentrates in interviewing hardcore leftists whose function is to base the same ideas.

If you like the subject, try Eastward to Tartary from Robert Kaplan.
