Sommario/riassunto

This book constructively criticizes and objectively analyzes the present American political strategy in the Middle East. It argues that the United States has no coherent policy in place to address ongoing challenges and highlights the need for creative thinking, flexibility, systematic understanding, cultural awareness, and effective strategy.
