Title: living historians?
Product review: Lewis has the knowledge of languages and the experience to be a great historian of the Middle East. He has written many books, all alike in their viewpoint. If you agree with his ideology, then you like his books. If you know the Middle East, then you know that they are very very biased. He has been known to leave out material that he does not wish to wreck his arguments. For an astonishing omission of well known facts, see the New Yorker of last October, which asserts that no country ever considered Afghistan worth invading. The British fought 4 wars in the 19th century.The list could go on . . . .
