Tinderbox

`Tinderbox’ integrates all aspects of today’s Middle East problems: U.S. foreign policy, Iraq, Israel-Palestine, and Islamic terrorism. This is combined journalism, political science, and history writing at its best. An important feature of this book is that most of its chapters are self-contained in the sense that they can be profitably read separately, like a handbook, without reading the whole book. For example, you can go to the chapter on The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and get an excellent 65-page up-to-date analysis of that subject.
