Review
A brilliant book.--Hugh Nissenson
Powerful . . . must be considered and appreciated even by those who think they disagree with it.--Amos Elon
Refreshing . . . most stimulating . . . as with the best historical works, The Closed Circle is the outcome, and the resolution, of a puzzlement.--Elie Kedourie
A brilliant insight into the way Arab societies work. A healthy corrective, a thought-provoking study.--David K. Shipler "The New York Times "
Excellent. Having lived in Arabia for six years, I can say that this text superbly sets out the historical events that led us to the current situation today and explains many aspects of the culture that are misunderstood.--Daniel Kirk, Macon State College
A landmark for understanding the politics of the Middle East . . . as brilliant as it is depressing.--Daniel Pipes, director, Middle East Forum; author of Militant Islam Comes to America
This is definitely a book to be read, if also one to be thought about carefully and rather critically.--David Morgan "Times Literary Supplement "
Synopsis
In no Arab country today is there democratic process, freedom of speech, or security, guaranteed by law, for the individual or for property. This book argues that the Arabs are caught in closed circle which has been defined by deeply rooted tribal, religious and cultural traditions.
