Michael Jansen on 50+ Years in the Turbulent Middle East
In her talk to The Bray Heads Group and the lively discussion which followed it on 25 October, Michael Jansen drew on her experiences living in, and reporting on, the Middle East for over 50 years, presenting eyewitness accounts of a number of historical events and figures that have shaped, defined - and so often racked - the region, referencing in particular events in Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Cyprus, Egypt and Syria.
