BEWARE YOUR FRIENDS      KNOW YOUR ENEMIES
by joseph puder

Joseph Puder knows the Middle East. Those who know
go to Mr. Puder to learn about that region, and don’t
waste their time with the State Department. He has been
writing about the region, interviewing its leaders, and
correctly predicting the outcome of the few wise initiatives
and the many inept. The man and the book respect
only the truth and never the all too prevalent propaganda.

paperback book

Joe Puder should title his book “INSIDE THE MIDEAST 101.”   Here you will find concisely written chapter after chapter, many based on Joe’s personal contacts with the participants, on Mideast-shaping events and movements not making the mainstream media’s headline news.  What are the status, ambitions and prospects of Iran’s large Arab, Kurdish and other minority groups?  Of Christians in Egypt, under the PA and elsewhere in the Mideast?   Which foreign powers finance which sides in Lebanon?  What are Turkey’s regional power ambitions?  How really committed are Egypt and the PA to peace with the Jewish State?  Are America and Europe helping bring peace?  Joe Puder, who grew up in Israel and served in the IDF in the Six Day War, knows his contacts and subjects well.  He brings his sober analyses to life, many through personal interviews of people deeply involved.  If you seek an astute insider’s insights into these issues and more, I commend to you Joe Puder’s book.       -------  Jerome Verlin, author and commentator
