The bestselling author of Overthrow offers a new and
surprising vision for rebuilding America's strategic
partnerships in the Middle EastnnWhat can the United
States do to help realize its dream of a peaceful,
democratic Middle East? Stephen Kinzer offers a surprising
answer in this paradigm-shifting book. Two countries in the
region, he argues, are America's logical partners in the
twenty-first century: Turkey and Iran.nnBesides proposing
this new "power triangle," Kinzer also recommends that the
United States reshape relations with its two traditional
Middle East allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia. This book
provides a penetrating, timely critique of America's
approach to the world's most volatile region, and offers a
startling alternative.nnKinzer is a master storyteller
with an eye for grand characters and illuminating historical
detail. In this book he introduces us to larger-than-life
figures, like a Nebraska schoolteacher who became a martyr
to democracy in Iran, a Turkish radical who transformed his
country and Islam forever, and a colorful parade of princes,
politicians, women of the world, spies, oppressors,
liberators, and dreamers.nnKinzer's provocative new view
of the Middle East is the rare book that will richly
entertain while moving a vital policy debate beyond the
stale alternatives of the last fifty years.
