General Note 'A story of Greg Blaze' -- Cover.
Greg Blaze is a local author from the Manning Valley.
Abstract/Summary Working with the Arabs and living with the Jews, Blaze was able to develop a unique perspective of a variety of players in this decades long Arab-Israeli dispute. He presents his ‘warts and all’ observations of discord in the Holy Land, where the three main religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity collide in a collective scramble for relevance and space in this wondrous historical land. His interviews with locals of all persuasions display the fractured nature of thinking from opposite groups, and the massive hurdles still to be overcome if there is ever to be peace in the Middle East. Amid this backdrop of existential struggle, Blaze describes often humorous accounts of the odd contrast of orthodox lifestyles in the ancient city of Jerusalem, and the modern coastal city of Tel Aviv, known by many as the ‘Mediterranean capitol of cool’. His portrayal of his fearful encounter with would-be kidnappers in the lawless West Bank town of Shu’Fat complements the nervous tension he expresses in his forays into big wave surfing in the remote islands of Sumatra. The UN needs an engineer, Blaze is one, and the combination of Israel and the West Bank provides the backdrop for an outsider’s glimpse inside the reality of life in this conflicted space. Enjoy the journey ………………
