The Damascus Gate by Robert Stone

Novel
Follow Christopher Lucas, an American journalist, as he walks from his apartment high on a Jerusalem hill down through the crowds of Muslims, Jews, and Christians as the crowd awakes in the heart of this political hot spot. Holy sites, holy visionaries, holy wars, in a wonderfully written book. Lucas' story enlightened me about the particulars of the Middle East conflict. Stone covers Vietnam, Central America, and Hollywood in his previous novels.
