Glittering silver fire over a bay already busy with innumerable small fishing boats, it glowed on the looming, still lava-encrusted slopes of Vesuvius, but passed over the clamor of the city itself: a shouting pushing crowd off in all directions for the day's activities.

Author writes: "I am an American Anglophile who lived in England for nearly 25 years. I first visited England, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon and Turkey in 1955. I was fascinated by the history of the Near East, made many subsequent visits and many Arab and Jewish friends, a number of whom helped me get material for To Build A Land, The Mukhtar's Children and Other Sandals. I have tried to get into the minds and feelings of the various peoples involved. I do like the people---if not always their governments!
