When disaster strikes, veteran journalist Thomas L. Friedman rushes to the frontlines. In Longitudes and Attitudes, Friedman shares his uncensored accounts from Afghanistan, Israel, and beyond. Through candid interviews, he paints a vivid portrait of a global order unraveling, where old alliances crumble and new threats emerge. At the heart of Friedman's journey lies a search for meaning - for himself and a nation reeling from tragedy.
