Thomas L. Friedman
Longitudes & Attitudes is made up of Friedman's New York Times columns, as well as a diary of his private experiences and reflections as he travels to Europe, the Mideast, and the Far East. He talks with the major players in the story and men and women in the street as he develops and refines his unique perspective on the new kind of war America finds itself fighting. And he helps us to understand who "they" are, and reassures us about who "we" are.
In the author's words, the result is "a 'word album' that captures and preserves the raw, unpolished emotional and analytical responses that illustrate how I, and others, felt as we tried to grapple with September 11 and its aftermath as it continues to unfold." More than any other journalist writing today, Friedman gives voice to America's awakening sense of a radically new world and our own complex place in it.

Mr. Friedman's depth of knowledge on a variety of Middle East issues is extensive, as expected. But what I found most informative was his perspectives on the opinions and biases of Middle Eastern citizens (especially from Saudi Arabia) that he has known for years through his travels. It is these misconceptions and propaganda-fed agendas of Arab intellectuals, as well as their small middle class, that is most enlightening to westerners. I also expected Mr. Friedman to be more of an apologist for US actions, but this was not the case and he has no qualms identifying the errors of thinking (and actions) from all sides in the Middle East conflicts.
I was pleasantly surprised by the perspectives and attitudes in this work. The only thing lacking is true depth of the issues, as this book isn't much more than a collection of his NY Times articles over the span of a year after September 11th. An extra diary of thoughts and opinions is included that has not been released previously, but to those who are already familiar with his articles this probably isn't reason enough to buy this book. Since I was a new to Mr. Friedman's work, I found the book informative and well balanced. 4 stars.

As a longtime reader of Friedman's columns, it was exciting for me to hear the passionate and articulate voice behind the writing, and to understand how the author develops his ideas. I gained an understanding of the mechanics of repression, religious fundamentalism, and violence in today's world, and was impressed by Friedman's ideas on the way forward.
I also gained a clearer sense of what it means to be a modern American patriot. Friedman's patriotism incorporates a deep respect for ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity; a broad compassion for the world's peoples and their struggles; and an enhanced appreciation of the power of individual and collective enterprise.
