The Media Relations Department of Hizbollah Wishes You a Happy Birthday

I dare anyone to catch a glimpse of this title in a bookstore and resist a double take.

Neil MacFraquar, the current United Nations correspondent for the New York Times, went to elementary school in Libya and spent a considerable amount of time traveling around and covering the middle east as the NYT's foreign correspondent based out of Cairo in the early 90s.

His new book, a memoir of his days as a foreign correspondent serves up wry anecdotes of the recent history of the middle east, thru the eyes of an American who knows the region well.

For a review of the book, read the full article in the Christian Science Monitor.
