The Tower of Babel - Morris West

Powerful, profound and conceived on a tremendous scale, THE TOWER OF BABEL portrays the mounting tension in the Middle East and the resultant Arab-Jewish confrontation.

Behind the raids and retaliation, behind the relentless prop-aganda, at Cabinet conferences and councils of war, are the men and women who shape this conflict. It is their lives, their intrigues, passions and ideals – that Morris West lays bare with such mastery.

The Head of Syrian Security, the Israeli Director of Military Intelligence, the Palestinian terrorists, the Jewish spy, and even the ruthless financier faced with ruin – cry out for sympathy, for they are bound to causes perpetually shadowed by greed, aggression and guilt. In unlocking their minds and consciences, Morris West translates the babel of the Middle East into convincing truth.
