- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

A gripping memoir of life in Jerusalem from one of Australia`s most experienced Middle East correspondents. Leading Australian journalist John Lyons will take readers on a fascinating personal journey through the wonders & dangers of the Middle East. From the sheer excitement of arriving in Jerusalem with his wife & eight-year-old son, to the fall of dictators & his gripping account of what it feels like to be taken by Egyptian soldiers, blindfolded & interrogated, this is a memoir of the Middle East like no other. Drawing on a 20-year interest in the Middle East, Lyons has had extraordinary access
- he`s interviewed everyone from Israel`s former Prime Ministers Shimon Peres & Ehud Olmert to key figures from Hezbollah & Hamas. He`s witnessed the brutal Iranian Revolutionary Guard up close & was one of the last foreign journalists in Iran during the violent crackdown against the ` Green Revolution`. He`s confronted Hamas officials about why they fire rockets into Israel & Israeli soldiers about why they fire tear gas at Palestinian school children. By telling the story of his family travelling through the region, this book is extremely readable & entertaining, full of humour, colour. It is sometimes dazzling in its detail, sometimes tragic. Lyons says he has written it in a way that readers can feel they are there with him
- so they can smell the wonderful markets of the Middle East & feel the fear of what it is like to be blindfolded & have your hands bound with electrical cord. Lyons also looks at 50 years of Israeli occupation of the West Bank
- the mechanics of how this works & the effect it now has on both Israelis & Palestinians. Lyons explains the Middle East through every day life & experiences
- his son`s school, his wife`s friends & his own dealings with a range of people over six years. If you only read one book on the Middle East, this is it.
