Crossing Mandelbaum Gate May 24, 2010

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Kai Bird in conversation with Gabriel Sanders, deputy editor, Tablet Magazine

Each day on his way to school, Bird passed through Mandelbaum Gate—separating Israeli-controlled West Jerusalem from the Arab-controlled East. As an American who grew up in the midst of wars in the Middle East from the 1950s through the 1970s, Bird provides an illuminating perspective on the Arab-Israeli conflict in this fascinating memoir.
