Description

A gripping memoir of life in Jerusalem from one of Australia's most experienced Middle East correspondents. John Lyons takes readers on a personal journey through the wonders and dangers of the region, drawing on 20 years of interest and extraordinary access to key figures. From the excitement of arriving in Jerusalem with his family to his harrowing experiences as an interrogated prisoner, Lyons shares a story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. He recounts witnessing pivotal moments in Middle Eastern history, including the fall of dictators and the brutal Iranian Revolutionary Guard, while also exploring 50 years of Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Through his account, readers can experience the sights, sounds, and emotions of this complex region, from the vibrant markets to the fear of being blindfolded. Lyons' writing aims to transport readers to the heart of the Middle East, making this memoir a compelling read for anyone interested in the region's politics, culture, and people.
