"Foreign policy analysis is often a historical and a theoretical, which diminishes its value. Professor Ahmed Zohny’s book is not of that type. His knowledge of history and theory informs every page of the book, deepening our understanding of President Trump’s Middle Eastern diplomacy and its impact."
— Thomas E. Patterson, professor of Government &the Press, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of contemporary diplomatic challenges and opportunities.
