Wonderful". -- Daniel Schorr "Milton Viorst has no rivals in American journalism in his compassion and understanding of the Arab world. But Sandcastles is more than a political primer on the Middle East; it is a psychological and social tour of the Arab people and the wondrous cities they live in. This is a political history as it should be written". -- Seymour M. Hersh |

| Publisher Description: In Sandcastles, Milton Viorst draws upon his long personal experience in the Middle East and many recent trips undertaken as a correspondent for The New Yorker to take us deep into the aspirations, fears, prejudices, hopes and convictions of the inhabitants of seven key countries, and of the people without a country - the Palestinians. |
