Op-Ed: Musings on War & Peace in the Middle East and Beyond is a powerful collection of essays by Yehuda Lukacs, a professor of global affairs and an internationally engaged writer. With sharp commentary and deeply personal reflections, Lukacs offers a thought-provoking analysis of one of the world's most troubled regions. Spanning three decades, these articles examine the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Arab-Israeli relations, U.S. foreign policy, the erosion of academic freedom, and the ever-evolving discourse on war and peace.
From Budapest to the Brazilian jungle, Tel Aviv to Washington, D.C., his life journey imbues every page with hard-won insights and a steady, unflinching urgency. An evocative autobiographical introduction traces the evolution of his views, setting the stage for the wide-ranging essays that follow. Among them is a series of vivid "postcards" written during a sabbatical in Israel, Egypt, Syria, and Cyprus, capturing the region's political, cultural, and human texture with immediacy and nuance. His writing on the war in Gaza blends scholarly rigor with moral clarity and a deep sense of urgency.
Drawing on years of leading students through the contested landscapes of Israel and Palestine, Lukacs offers a rare pedagogical lens, illustrating how direct encounters transform abstract geopolitics into life-changing experiences.
These carefully selected essays do more than chronicle events; they offer a nuanced framework for understanding a region where yesterday's conflicts continue to shape today's headlines.
