"Feiler's combination of journalism, commentary and self-discovery tells the reader volumes about humankind. Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Abraham
Bruce Feiler, the bestselling author of Walking the Bible and Abraham, examines the biblical and historical underpinnings of the Muslim world's present-day uprisings. 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.
Feiler travels to the heart of the conflict to ask: can an idea that started in the Middle East finally come home and save it?
- On-the-Ground Journalism: Travel with Feiler to the front lines of the uprisings in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Yemen as he captures the voices of a new generation fighting for their future.
- Abrahamic Faiths: Discover the surprising connections between the Arab Spring and the ancient stories of Moses, the Exodus, and the shared heritage of Muslims, Christians, and Jews.
- Generation Freedom: Meet the young, plugged-in, and proactive activists who harnessed technology and hope to topple dictators and challenge the narrative of extremism.
- The Future of the Middle East: Go beyond the headlines to understand the clash between modern politics and ancient traditions, offering vital insight into a region whose transformation will define the 21st century.
