Hello Everybody!

Featuring the story of author's five years as a reporter in the Middle East, this title alerts us of the way the media gives us a filtered and manipulated version of reality in the Middle East.

Superb...This book will make readers think twice when they scan foreign news in the papers

Excellent...breezy but self-critical

Powerful...written in a very engaging, even gripping, style and what makes it most admirable is its honesty
