Reviews of the original book in English:
Elie Kedourie
Refreshing...stimulating...as with the best historical works, The Closed
Circle is the outcome, and the resolution, of a puzzlement.
Amos Elon
Powerful...must be considered and appreciated even by those who think they
disagree with it.
David Morgan, Times Literary Supplement
This is definitely a book to be read, if also one to be thought about carefully
and rather critically.
Daniel Pipes
A landmark for understanding the politics of the Middle East...as brilliant as
it is depressing.
Hugh Nissenson
A brilliant book.
David K. Shipler, New York Times Book Review
A brilliant insight into the way Arab societies work. A healthy corrective, a
thought-provoking study.
