About the Author

Keith Massey has been studying languages his whole life, starting with high school

Latin and continuing to a PhD in Biblical Hebrew and Arabic at the University of

Wisconsin-Madison. After 9/11, he went to work at the Top Secret National Security

Agency as an Arabic linguist, where he served for more than four years. He now teaches

Latin and Arabic in New Jersey, summering with his wife in her native Romania. An avid

traveler, Keith has visited 15 different countries, 5 of which have been Arabic-speaking

countries.

Dedication

To my father Bill and my late mother Nancy, who taught me the value of hard work.

And to Dustin Cowell, my first Arabic instructor. May this book further the mutual

understanding between cultures to which you have devoted your life.

Author’s Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I want to thank my wife, Adriana, for her support as I wrote this book.

Thanks to my agent, Barb Doyen, for her encouragement throughout this process. And

to all the people at Wiley Publishing, especially to project editor Stephen Clark and

copy editor Jessica Smith for their extraordinary patience and enormous talent in this

project. Thanks also goes to acquisitions editor Michael Lewis, senior copy editors

Sarah Faulkner and Danielle Voirol, and technical editor Dr. Haitham M. Alkhateeb.

Last but not least, thanks to my former colleagues David, Jennifer, Michael, and Ron for

their friendship at the Fort and beyond as well as to my students Arielle Shahid and

Sherron Tynan for their helpful suggestions on the manuscript.
