Storm from the East: The Struggle Between the Arab World and the
Christian West
Tuesday, May 9, 2006
8:00 AM - 9:15 AM
In this balanced, lucid, and vital history of America's uneasy
relationship with the Arab world , Milton Viorst examines the long
struggle of the Arab world to overthrow Western hegemony. He explores
the Arab experiences with democracy and military despotism; from
Nasserite socialism in Egypt and Ba'athism in Syria and Iraq; tribal
monarchy in Saudi Arabia and Jordan; guerrilla warfare waged by the
Palestinians; and, finally, Islamic rebellion culminating in Osama bin
Laden's extremist al-Qaeda. All have the same goal: the liberation of
the Arabs from foreign domination.
Milton Viorst has covered the Middle East as a journalist and scholar
since the 1960s. He was The New Yorker's Middle East correspondent, and
his work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The
Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal. He has written six books
on the Middle East.
