DISCUSSION

Prisoners: A Muslim and a Jew Across the Middle East Divide

They met in 1990 during the first Intifada—one was an American Jew, the author, who served as a prison guard in the largest prison in Israel; the other, a prisoner named Rafiq, who was a rising leader in the PLO. Despite their fears and prejudices, they began a dialogue that grew into a remarkable friendship—and now a remarkable book that confronts head-on the issues dividing the Middle East, but also shines a ray of hope on that dark, embattled region.

Jeffrey Goldberg is Washington correspondent for The New Yorker. He was for ten years a Middle East correspondent for The New Yorker and for The New York Times Magazine. A winner of the National Magazine Award for Reporting, he is also a former columnist for The Jerusalem Post and the Forward.
