The Struggle For Peace

In this anthology, writers share their intimate knowledge of the history of the Middle East, experiences with the principal actors and address sensitive political issues that examine America's legacy in that region. Most authors in this anthology agree that the interactions between peoples of different civilizations are increasing and these interactions intensify civilization's consciousness and inter-cultural awareness. The book also illustrates how religion fuels war and bigotry. Neither the violence of terrorists, nor the might of armies can ever succeed in imposing the will of the mighty upon the weak. Those of us who have been involved in this struggle know fully well that methods of achieving peace are varied. The collection of essays put forward by Waris Shere shows how wide ranging the ideas that are being promoted in today's troubled world. This timely collection of essays by a stunning cast of thinkers could not be more relevant.
