Dreams and Shadows is the book to read to understand the sweeping political and cultural changes that have occurred in recent decades. Drawing on thirty-five years of reporting in two dozen countries, including Israel, Palestine, Iran, Egypt, and Syria, through wars, revolutions, and uprisings as well as the birth of new democracy movements and a new generation of activists, award-winning journalist and Middle East expert Robin Wright has created a masterpiece of the reporter's art and a work of profound and enduring insight into one of the most confounding areas of the world. |
