Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East, 1776 to the Present

â€œWill shape our thinking about America and the Middle East for years.â€â€•Christopher Dickey, Newsweek
This best-selling history is the first fully comprehensive history of Americaâ€™s involvement in the Middle East from George Washington to George W. Bush. As Niall Ferguson writes, â€œIf you think Americaâ€™s entanglement in the Middle East began with Roosevelt and Truman, Michael Orenâ€™s deeply researched and brilliantly written history will be a revelation to you, as it was to me. With its cast of fascinating charactersâ€•earnest missionaries, maverick converts, wide-eyed tourists, and even a nineteenth-century George Bushâ€•Power, Faith, and Fantasy is not only a terrific read, it is also proof that you donâ€™t really understand an issue until you know its history.â€ 68 black-and-white photographs, 4 maps
