Presents sketches drawn from the author's travels to various countries of the Muslim Middle East in the early 1980s. In them, he conveys a number of impressions: the difficulty for Westerner to penetrate these societies; the range of thoughts he heard Arabs and Iranians express about a variety of issues including politics, religion, international affairs, and relations between men and women; how these societies appear to others who live and work in them such as diplomats and businessmen; and what life is like in these countries generally.
