Margaret Nydell is currently a visiting Associate Professor at Georgetown University and a highly esteemed Arabist.

"Understanding Arabs offers both an analysis and a perspective that are in great demand. This book covers what the media typically overlooks and what is necessary to make some sense of what is going on. We have relled on this source of cultural information for many years. I have found no other book in English to be so useful." Colonel Terrence M. Potter, U.S. Military Academy "In this practical guide, [Dr. Nydell] shares her wealth of scholarly and real-world experience, and she does so without the psycho-babble that too often dominates other surveys of the subject" Ambassador David L. Mack, Vice President Middle East Institute, Washington D.C."
