What it is

“A penetrating, provocative, and very timely study that deciphers how U.S. policy in the Middle East has been manipulated both by Iran and by Israel even as relations between these two oscillated between secret collusion and overt collision.”, The Honorable Zbigniew Brzezinski, former US National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter
