All The Shah's Men by Stephen Kinzer

This makes me feel stupid as I should have known a little of what was going on in the Middle East but I didn't pay attention then. Not that it would have changed anything except why things are so mixed up now. This was written by a journalist again and from the New York Times so I have to think of their leftist angle on things and of course that there was a Republican in the White House -but our foreign policies have not been the wisest for some time. It is worth the read if you are interested in this kind of history

Your becoming an expert on the Middle East... you should be an ambassador or consultant or something.

Not sure I am ready to wade into this one, but am anxious to read your next review. Maybe something non-political?
