Reviews
This is definitely a book to be read, if also one to be thought about carefully and rather critically. -- David Morgan * Times Literary Supplement *
Powerful . . . must be considered and appreciated even by those who think they disagree with it. -- Amos Elon
A brilliant book. -- Hugh Nissenson
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
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
