Query: Great reality book

The best book I have ever read about the Middle East confilict... I read the book when it first came out the read it again (the new version) nine years later... during these nine years I have traveled in Egypt, Syria, Jordan, UAE, Israel and Lebanon.. all I can say is that the book sheds light on the most ambiguos aspects of life in the M.E. The only problem is that the book is very realistic and reality hurts... I belong to one of the minorities of the Middle East... Thank you Mr. Friedman
