5.0 out of 5 stars The routemap for this new and dangerous world, 20 Jan 2003
This review is from: Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11 (Hardcover)
Anyone who sneaks a peak at the New York Times website will be familiar with Thomas L. Friedman's writings. As a massively-experienced Middle Eastern journalist, he is expertly placed to be the muse and commentator on all the crazy things that are happening in the world at the moment. His collection of columns from the Times provide concise insights into the issues we are facing and how we should react to them.

Thankfully, Thomas Friedman is no polemicist - he is just the epitome of the well-educated and reasonable man. As a broadly liberal American, he has taken a rational and sensible stance on the War on Terror and related topics. He is neither a flag-bearer for the US government, nor some Guardian-esque basher of the idea that governments must occasionally resort to war to protect their people.

Even if, like me, you have read most of his columns from the net, this book is still worth reading, because his thoughts and writings seem all the more powerful in hindsight. Particularly interesting to me was a column written about Al Qaeda just before 9/11 - it shows just how in touch with the region Thomas Friedman was and still is.

A great book for anyone who wants to read about the War on Terror from an author who lacks the extreme ideological baggage of so many of today's self-appointed "Middle Eastern experts".

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!, 16 Jun 2004
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11 (Hardcover)
If The New York Times were a high school yearbook, Thomas Friedman would be "Most Likely To Succeed." For more than two decades, he has trained his agile, disciplined mind on unraveling the palace intrigue and radical movements of Middle Eastern politics. He tells a story about a waitress in chaotic, war-torn Beirut, who politely asked if he would rather have desert now or wait until the ceasefire took effect. His point: humans can adapt to virtually anything. In this compendium of columns plus a diary of post-911 events, Friedman argues that 9/11 stemmed from U.S. failure to retaliate against prior terrorism. Here, he kicks over the log and shines his light on the origins of the religious intolerance that created 9/11. It's not a pretty sight, but you had better look. To be even modestly informed about today's issues, we maintain, you need to read this.
