Politically Incorrect Guide to the Middle East, The

Paperback, 213 pages

About the Title: The harsh truth about the world's roughest neighborhood. Combine religion, race, the Cold War, America's enemies, and a history of colonialism, and you've got a breeding ground for the most virulent strains of politically incorrect mythology, distortions, and cover-ups. Welcome to the Middle East.

 

In the Middle East, the cost of PC distortions can be measured in the lives of American soldiers, Iraqi civilians, Iranian dissidents, and Israeli Jews. Faith in the magic of democracy, a blind eye to the truth about Islam, and a fruitless search for terrorism's "root causes"all of these PC delusions weaken America and draw out the violence there.

 

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Middle East is not an academic exercise; it is crucial reading for understanding the most important conflicts of our time.
