A good book on Mideast politics, despite being almost outdated by the passage of years so far. I agree with Feldman on the logic, but I do differ with him on his conclusion, but overall I enjoyed the book.

This one dips into places (like Egypt, Turkey) where I have colleagues from but know precious little about their histories. This author does it all succinctly. Who is in power, how do they stay there, will they remain?

Author explores is democracy possible? he is cautiously optimistic even though America may not like immediate results.
