With a solid, thirty-five-year background in Middle East reporting, Ms. Wright offers an extraordinary tour of this volatile and restless region--the ideas and movements driving change across the region, the obstacles facing the transformation of the Middle East, and the players and events in Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Morocco, Turkey, the Gulf states, and the Palestinian territories--that translate into a coherent vision of what lies ahead.

The author gives the reader insights into the history, the leaders, and key events which shape the countries in the region, specifically the Palestinian Territories, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Morocco and Turkey. My interest in reading the book, six years after being written and several years after the Arab Spring, was to see what changes may be observed in those. Sadly, the hope and change of the area is still something for the future. Egypt has seen one ex-military strongman go, and another come. The Palestinian Territories continue to be squeezed and continue the fight for a homeland for the displaced Palestinians, Syria is in turmoil worse than before, Iraq remains in a post-war mess, Iran's struggles continue, etc. While the author noted that the region, in 2006, was ready for and in need of change, change for the better still seems far off into the future.
