He has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles reporting the Middle East conflict, the end of the cold war, U.S. domestic politics and foreign policy, international economics, and the worldwide impact of the terrorist threat.
His foreign-affairs column, which appears twice a week in the Times, is syndicated to 700 other newspapers worldwide, and his books include From Beirut to Jerusalem (1989), The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization (1999), Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11 (2001), and The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century (2005).
