"Until the archives are finally open some date in the distant future, this book will be our primary guide to Obama's entangled foreign policy dilemmas. This is a subtle and deeply-probing examination of the concepts that underlie American assumptions about the Middle East landscape as a proving ground for the American dream - the final chapter in in the post-World War II era. What comes through so powerfully, instead, is despite Barack Obama's desire to rebuild the American nation, a new Iraq syndrome will have replaced the Vietnam syndrome." - Lloyd Gardner, Rutgers University, USA
"[This book] is an elegant extended meditation on where the recent history of the US in the world has brought the country and how, like his predecessors, Obama has been caught in the contradictory demands of a public that insists on being kept "good, strong, and safe." The authors have written an incisive guide to the actual rather than the imaginary terrain US foreign policy traverses. It is an enlightening, necessary and sobering read." - Marilyn B. Young, New York University, USA
