Herman F. Eilts, Former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Egypt:

  ... a distinct contribution to the history of the period. Armin Meyer's prominent role in U.S. policy determination in the Middle East and Japan deserves to be chronicled. So does the United States' previous emphasis on quiet diplomacy, which alas seems to be so sadly lacking these days. "

DESCRIPTIVE TEXT OF BOOK P ARA 2

 

R. K. Ramazani, Professor Emeritus, University of Virginia:

" The chapter on Iran is simply superb. It sheds much new light on the Shah's voracious appetite for arms, on his complex personality, and on Armin Meyer's significant role in the settlement of the Saudi-Iranian median line dispute. I admire Ambassador Meyer's keen insight on the dangers of the 'arrogance of power.' "


Other Reviews

  • Peter F. Krogh,   Dean Emeritus, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University

" Armin Meyer's account of the creation of Israel (and Arab-Asian reation thereto) is excellent: clear, strong, and historically important. "
