{"product_id":"the-closed-circle-david-pryce-jones-9781566638265","title":"The Closed Circle: An Interpretation of the Arabs","description":"This important book explains how Arabs are closed in a circle defined by tribal, religious, and cultural traditions. David Pryce-Jones examines the tribal forces which, he believes, \"drive the Arabs in their dealings with each other and with the West.\" In the postwar world, he argues, the Arabs reverted to age-old tribal and kinship structures, a closed circle from which they have been unable to escape, and in which violence is systemic. \"A healthy corrective, a thought-provoking study.\"-David K.
