Details

A veteran reporter who covered the Black September conflict in Jordan in 1970 and the Yom Kippur War in Israel in 1973 wonders what the future holds. "Will the Middle East conflict finally become only a chapter in a history book? Or will the killing and fighting still be going on?" He provides a brief history of the region and describes his life as a correspondent, from ducking bullets on a balcony in Amman to following tank battles in the Sinai. Black-and-white photos. Bibliography. Index.
