About this product
Product Information
The What Every American Should Know series returns with a timely guide to the region Americans need to understand the most (and know the least) The latest edition of Melissa Rossi's popular What Every American Should Know series gives a crash course on one of the most complex and important regions of the world. In this comprehensive and engaging reference book, Rossi offers a clear analysis of the issues playing out in the Middle East, delving into each country's history, politics, economy, and religions. Having traveled through the area over the past year, she exposes firsthand the U.S.'s geopolitical moves and how our presence has affected the region's economic and political development. Topics include: - Why Iran is viewed as a threat by most Middle East countries - What resource is more important than petroleum in regional power plays - What's really behind the fighting between Sunni and Shia - How Saudi Arabia inadvertently feeds the violence in Iraq and beyond - How monarchies like those in Jordan and Qatar are more open and progressive than the so-called republics With answers that will surprise many Americans, and covering a vast history and cultural complexity that will fascinate any student of the world, What Every American Should Know About the Middle East is a must-read introduction to the most critical region of the twenty-first century.

Reviews
Praise for the What Every American Should Know series "Insightful... the sheer volume of material assures readers will turn up something they had not known or long forgotten. The knowledge she pulls together and shares proves the volume's most useful contribution to the cause of government reform."-- Publishers Weekly "Well-informed... without losing her playful attitude... Rossi is most skilled in keeping her guide balanced: sidebar stories on significant events, scandals and achievements add depth and definition to each profile, while the one-line summaries included in the introductions keep things pithy."-- Publishers Weekly "The perfect book for paranoiacs, conspiracy buffs, fans of Michael Moore, and just anyone who thinks the people running the world don't have our best interests at heart... Rossi doesn't pull any punches... she marshals plenty of impressive source material."--David Pitt, Booklist, Praise for the What Every American Should Know… Series A funky foreign affairs seminar.” —Newsday Fun and informative… absorbing on many levels.” —The Chicago Tribune [An] engaging travel guide complete with the basics— demographics, history, hot spots, and notable natives.” —Publishers Weekly, If there is a livelier, less ponderous, more agenda-free, better researched, more relevant publication that provides such a wealth of historic and incidental information alongside all the ‘need to know’ stuff on this complex part of the world, I would like to find it.” —Pat Lancaster, editor of Middle East Magazine, "If there is a livelier, less ponderous, more agenda-free, better researched, more relevant publication that provides such a wealth of historic and incidental information alongside all the 'need to know' stuff on this complex part of the world, I would like to find it." -Pat Lancaster, editor of Middle East Magazine
