An engrossing memoir in which a photojournalist records both the precursors to today's conflicts in the Middle East and her own deeply felt conviction that news coverage of the region actually increases the conflicts there.
Probes the motivations that impelled the author, a single, Jewish woman, to document the turmoil roiling the Arab world in the 1980s and 1990s. This work takes us on a journey to PLO military training camps for Palestinian children and to refugee camps in the Gaza Strip before, during, and after the first intifada.
