Review: SUICIDE SONS by Michael Gold

Thiis is a fictionalization of the way the conflict between Arabs and Israelis is sometimes carried far beyond the Middle East. It also examines how parental expectations can cause adverse feelings in the sons.

Though Gold is apparently Jewish, he is careful not to take sides. Each of his fictional tribes has similarities to both Muslims and Jews, as well as wholly imaginative elements. All told it's an interesting and entertaining book, and I recommend it.
