For the most part the book is arranged in chronological order but not completely. There is some backtracking, especially when Friedman writes of his years in Israel. He talks of the events which occur during his tenure in each place and also looks at the causes of the problems or events, like the intifada. The conclusion is the Epilogue, in which Friedman talks about his proposal for peace, again giving reasons for his proposals and discussing why things do and do not work in the Middle East. The book is very interesting reading and will be enjoyed by all readers.
