“a potent distillation of the hard truths earned as an eye-witness to history...recommended”—New Hampshire Magazine; “a sweeping tour of the world’s most contentious corners with a delightful and insightful guide, one of the best of a dwindling breed of adventurous foreign correspondents.”—Doug Struck, former foreign correspondent for the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun; “[the author’s] knowledge of history goes deep and his explanations are clear and concise (though the intricacies will still make your head spin). With a mix of wrenching and amusing anecdotes, concise history and astute observation, Salome shows how human tribalism guides our history. This is a book for anyone interested in understanding our troubled times, and finding the humanity in war-torn places”—The Portsmouth Herald, Seacoast Edition.
