Title: Ignorant of the Facts
Product review: I could not get through this book no matter how hard I tried. (I love books on this issue and have a degree in Middle Eastern Relations and History) Unfortunately, this book is just more archaic scholastic babble. The underlying thesis in this book is that the west is just superior. If you read this book under that impression then - well I guess then Professor Lewis is just singing to the choir. Mr. Lewis for all of his accolades is not a very good scholar or he is more then willing to distort the truth to justify his point. He either accidentally overlooks well-known facts about the Middle Eastern culture or deliberately ignores them. I fear the later. He never actually attempts to answer his own question: "What Went Wrong". This book should have been title "We are Better - Just Get Over It".
