Synopsis
In 2002, Thomas L. Friedman won his third Pulitzer Prize for his "clarity of vision, based on extensive reporting, in commenting on the worldwide impact of the terrorist threat" after the attacks of September 11, 2001. This virtually unprecedented recognition underlines Friedman's unique ability to interpret and illuminate the world for Americans clearly, insightfully, and memorably. Longitudes and Attitudes is made up of Friedman's New York Times columns as well as a diary of his private experiences and reflections as he travels to Europe, the Mideast, and the Far East. He talks with the major players in the story and to men and women in the street as he develops and refines his unique perspective on the new kind of war America finds itself fighting.
