In this informative, iconoclastic book, veteran foreign correspondent Martin Sieff offers a jaw-dropping survey of the history and politics of a region that people know surprisingly little about—even though it’s never off the front pages of the morning papers.
In The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Middle East you’ll learn:
Why Islamic fundamentalism isn’t ancient—making it more dangerous;
Why the Saudis are part of the solution, not the problem;
Why democracy and a Marshall Plan for the Middle East would only make things worse;
How environmentalist extremists have kept us hooked on oil from the Middle East;
Why Arab-Israeli peace is impossible; and
Why we’ll miss the old Arab dictators when they’re gone—because the alternative is Islamic fundamentalism
Martin Sieff has covered the Middle East professionally for forty years and has earned three Pulitzer Prize nominations for international reporting. Currently he is the security and terrorism correspondent for United Press International and writes UPI’s regular “Eye on Iraq” and “Iraq Benchmarks” columns. A long-time senior foreign correspondent for the Washington Times, he has also contributed articles to the Times (London), National Review, Jerusalem Post, Belfast Telegraph, and other publications.
