The recent turmoil in Iran has strengthened the hand of the hardliners at least in the near term and tensions continue to escalate. While the potential for catastrophe is great for both of those nations America's commitments in the region mean that a war could prove disastrous for the U. S. as well. An Israeli attack could re - align the basic alliance structure in the Middle East and cause Iran to create havoc for the U. S. in Iraq Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Obama administration wants to avoid this but the current Israeli government and most Israelis regard the current Iranian regime as an existential threat. In The Sixth Crisis Dana Allin and Steven Simon provide a concise and penetrating analysis of the central dilemma: the interrelationship between the Iranian nuclear threat the ongoing Israeli - Palestinian conflict and President Obama's plans for rebuilding America's reputation in the region. A balanced account of the various forces at work - an Iranian regime currently in the midst of a legitimacy crisis Israeli domestic politics and Obama's ongoing attempt to recalibrate Middle East politics by increasing America's appeal within the Arab world - - The Sixth Crisis will be essential reading not only for policymakers but for anyone interested in this still - unfolding crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Sixth Crisis Iran Israel America And The Rumors Of War\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Simon Steven (Adjunct Senior Fellow For Middle Eastern Studies Adjunct Senior Fellow For Middle Eastern Studies Council Of Foreign Relations)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780199754496\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 224 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/5\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Nuclear Weapons","brand":"Simon Steven (Adjunct Senior Fellow For Middle Eastern Studies Adjunct Senior Fellow For Middle Eastern Studies Council Of Foreign Relations)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593351340337,"sku":"IN-G-9780199754496","price":20.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780199754496.jpg?v=1753225369","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780199754496-the-sixth-crisis-iran-israel-america-and-the-rumors-of-war","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
