Description
A commanding and eye-opening account of five years on the Middle East frontlines, People Like Us is a personal and thought-provoking exploration of war, occupation, fear, resilience, jubilation, and community. The author's unique ability to communicate with people from all walks of life - stone throwers, taxi drivers, civil servants, professors, victims, aggressors, and their families - provides a nuanced perspective on the conflicts in the region. However, as he witnessed firsthand, this understanding often proved elusive. This book shatters our perceptions of what we're led to believe about the Middle East, revealing a filtered, altered, and manipulated image of reality that has become a wholly designed theater of war for the western audience.
