Description:
This definitive biography of George Antonius tells the story, of a man who lived during a dramatic period of history, amid a challenge that remains unresolved: the Palestinian-Zionist conflict. Evident Truth is an important and innovative work about the continuing controversy of empire and nationalism. Susan Silsby Boyle takes a fresh look at the problems of the Middle East, and she offers new hope to a region where many proposed solutions have failed. She argues that the answers have been there all along, in the people and traditions of the Middle East, but they have been obscured by a conqueror's code of empire and nationalism.
Expand description
By rediscovering Antonius's messages about ancient institutions, nation building, good governance, and the true meaning of morality, a new generation can reconnect to the past with great hope for the future. Antonius reminds us of the genius of democracy; he reminds us that ordinary men are important, that power must be shared, and that society as a nation transcends tribalism and its more virulent form -- nationalism.
