A nation must think before it acts.
An award-winning historian, Theodore Friend set out alone across Asia and the Middle East on a quest to understand firsthand the life situations of women in Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey and now relates hundreds of encounters with people he met along the way. The result is an eye-opening account of five Muslim societies.
Friend served as President of Eisenhower Fellowships and the Philadelphia Committee on Foreign Relations, and is an FPRI Senior Fellow.
