America's Continuing Misadventures in the Middle East

"Chas Freeman is one of our country's best practitioners of diplomacy, an art he argues we have neglected in favor of military options... He has given us a wake up call. Let's hope we hear it."Hon. Frank Carlucci, former Secretary of Defense
"No diplomat of his generation has a finer intelligence, a better ear to listen, as great a willingness to pierce self-deception or as gifted a pen as Chas Freeman. Insight leaps from every page of this remarkable volume."Jessica T. Matthews, former President, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
"If you don't know whether to laugh or cry about America's bungling and ineptitude in this all-important region, you're certain to do both reading Freeman's rueful and iconoclastic narrative."Robert Dreyfuss, contributor to Rolling Stone and The Nation
"If I could, I'd get this book on the curriculum of every service academy and defense college and university. Our military will pay the price for our wrong-headed policies unless we change them. Freeman shows the way."M.J. Rosenberg, veteran political commentator
