"Ms. Rajab has provided a very timely, pointed analysis of historical developments in the Middle East, and Western, specifically American involvement there. The book will prove very useful for those unfamiliar with the realities of modern and contemporary issues in the region and beyond. One can hardly but benefit from reading this incisive account of such pertinent issues."

"Dr. Nuri's translation makes the book eminently successful in conveying meaning in very accessible, expressive English. Native speakers will grasp it with no difficulty. The benefit cannot be missed."
