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.
The Middle East is always in the news, but have you heard:
- There has never been separation of mosque and state: Islamic governments control religious leaders or are controlled by them
- Ariel Sharon's security fence in Israel— a monument to political correctness—has saved hundreds of Palestinian and Israeli lives
- Jimmy Carter's do-gooder meddling in the Middle East is to blame for Iran's Islamic Revolution
- Oppressive Arab regimes like Saddam Hussein's took their guidance from leftist idealogues
- Israel's greatest generals based their battle plans on the Old Testament
Endorsements:
"The mysterious Middle East is no longer mysterious when the distinguished commentator Martin Sieff has explained it all with his inimitable blend of scholarship, wit, and inside knowledge." — John O'Sullivan, author of The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister and editor-at-large of National Review
