Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. xvi, 333, [3] pages. Footnotes. Map. A Statistical Profile. Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author on the title page. David Sherman Lamb (March 5, 1940 June 5, 2016) was a freelance writer who traveled the world for twenty-five years as a Los Angeles Times correspondent. He left the paper…in 2004 after 34 years and then freelanced. David Lamb was born in Boston, Massachusetts. For most of his high school education, he attended Phillips Exeter Academy, where he ran a gambling ring, and was nicknamed "The Joker." At Exeter, Lamb was friends with Benno Schmidt, who became president of Yale University. Lamb was expelled after the school's administration searched his room and found his locked box of IOUs. He graduated from the University of Maine's School of Journalism in 1962. He began his career with The Okinawa Morning Star, then moved on to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and the Oakland Tribune. He then joined United Press International in San Francisco and Denver; from 1968 to 1970, he worked as a battlefront correspondent in Saigon. He joined the Los Angeles Times in 1970 and was based in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C., as well as being bureau chief in Sydney, Nairobi, Cairo and Hanoi. He covered the fall of Saigon in April 1975 on assignment for The Los Angeles Times. He was a Nieman Fellow, an Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellow, a Pew Fellow and a writer-in-residence at the University of Southern California's School of Journalism. He is believed to be the only U.S. newspaper correspondent from the Vietnam War to later live in peacetime Hanoi. The former Middle East correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and author of The Africans gives an entertaining and enlightening portrait of the Arab peoples and their tumultuous world. Derived from a Kirkus review: A refreshing, insightful portrait of the Arab people, by a reporter with a flair for his craft. Lamb uses his personal experiences as a Middle Eastern correspondent for the Los Angeles Times as a background for this fascinating study of a region torn between regressive religious fundamentalism and the inescapable pull of the modern world. The book is really an anecdotal travel narrative with historical, social and political analyses thrown in; it is well-written, intelligent, often amusing, and hard to put down. The Islamic religion and the Arabic language are the only real unifiers of this huge region whose per capita income ranges from $42,000 (Qatar--oil) to $310 (South Yemen--cotton) and where attitudes toward change range from cautiously enthusiastic (Oman) to openly negative (Libya). Most Arabs, Lamb says, are not extremists, but feel caught in the middle of conflicting views, and are hurt by the ethnic stereotyping they often receive in the Western press; they are hospitable and friendly to individual travelers, and have an infectious sense of humor. Lamb does, too, and in detailing the ironies of Middle Eastern life--the behavior of Egyptians in traffic jams, the difficulty of bringing western women into Saudi restaurants where signs read "women must behave in a modest and bashful manner at all times"--he manages to present his subject with both sympathy and quiet criticism. He discusses politics and international relations with sultans, visits peasants in their roofless homes, and devotes pages to the Palestinian view of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Still, even for a reporter as well-traveled as Lamb, the culture remains very difficult for non-Arabs to penetrate. An enlightening and enjoyable book--a must for anybody with an interest in the Middle East. First Vintage Books Edition [Stated] May be second printing.
