As conflicts rock the Middle East, Feiler returns to the region to explore how the sectarian and political conflicts in Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, Israel, and Palestine represent a collision between modern-day political tensions, centuries of deeply ingrained religious traditions, and deeply entrenched cultural divides. Joining the ranks of Thomas Friedman and Fareed Zakaria, Feiler offers a book of powerful, transformative insight, uniquely illuminating a region in turmoil whose problems have long been clouded in confusion.

Bruce Feiler is the author of five consecutive New York Times bestsellers. He writes the This Life column for the New York Times and lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and twin daughters.
