The Tribes Triumphant by Charles Glass

The Tribes Triumphant by Charles Glass

A powerful and insightful narrative of a journey once violently interrupted and here resumed through one of the most compelling regions on earth.

‘Fascinating…intriguing…Glass is skilled at bringing people alive…an important book’ Sunday Times

‘Charles Glass reads like Taki with an explosives belt. Yet this attention to social form becomes a strength when it shows how a generation of insult by both British and Israeli occupiers has brought a traditional Arab society to the end of its tether…Even the ruling passions of Glass’s life and writing, which are good food and pretty women, contribute balance to the book.’ Spectator

‘He writes stylishly…the most absorbing passages in the book trace Glass's progress through Israel and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza…Glass enlivens his text with some intriguing asides.’ Daily Mail

‘Anyone who is interested in the continuing agony of the Middle East should read this book.’ Literary Review

‘An eloquent and sensitive journey…with trademark flowing style and laconic humour.’ Oldie
