The tables have turned for one bookshop owner in Tunis, who had to operate under censorship during the dictatorship of Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. After having to fight for decades to sell the books she wanted, there is now one volume she doesn't particularly want on her shelves. The former dictator's hated wife, Leila Trabelsi, has come out with her version of the facts, called My Truth.

English-language ME newspapers?

Dear members,

A historian has asked me to compile a list of all English-language 
newspapers published in the Middle East between 1970-1981.  He is 
researching the Camp David accords but cannot read either Arabic or 
Hebrew.  I have started putting it together, but am afraid of missing 
out on some lesser-known titles.  If there is a comprehensive listing 
available somewhere, it would be of great help.  Can you please give me 
some pointers?

Thank you in advance,
