A longtime American foreign policy insider's penetrating and definitive reckoning with this country's involvement in the Middle East-and its bitter end. The culmination of almost forty years at the highest levels of policymaking and scholarship, Grand Delusion is Steven Simon's tour de force, offering a comprehensive and deeply informed account of U.S. engagement in the Middle East. Simon begins with the Reagan administration, when American perception of the Middle East shifted from a cluster of faraway and frequently skirmishing nations to a shining, urgent opportunity for America to (in Reagan's words) "serve the cause of world peace and the future of mankind."
