Exotic cities like Cairo, Egypt, Amman Jordan, Beirut, Lebanon, and Damascus,
Syria embody the archives of Middle Eastern history, and continue to stir our imaginations.

Bill takes you on a fascinating personal tour of these ancient cities dragged into the time warp of modern,
combustible tensions that threaten world peace.
