In this informative, iconoclastic book, veteran foreign correspondent Martin Sieff offers a jaw-dropping survey of the history and politics of a region that people know surprisingly little about - even though it's never off the front pages of the morning papers. In The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Middle East you'll learn • Why Islamic fundamentalism isn't ancient - making it more dangerous • Why the Saudis are part of the solution, not the problem • Why democracy and a Marshall Plan for the Middle East would only make things worse • How environmentalist extremists have kept us hooked on oil from the Middle East • Why Arab-Israeli peace is impossible • Why we'll miss the old Arab dictators when they're gone - because the alternative is Islamic fundamentalism
