About this title: The bestselling author of "Sleeping with the Devil" returns with a frighteningly prescient look at how Iran is on the cusp of becoming a superpower every bit as potent as Russia or China--and one America will soon have to make major concessions to in order to preserve its security.

"Especially these days with Iran being so prominently in the news, this is an easy-to-understand and very revealing discussion about the country and culture. You hope that there are folks in the administration as attuned as the author to the realities there politically."
"A serious analysis of US foreign policy towards Iran by a former CIA operative for the region. Occasionally comes across a tad too assured, but always compelling and often quite sobering."
"While I found his examination and commentary enlightening, I found myself skeptical of a lot of his assumptions. I base this on the fact that, while he has a great deal of first-hand experience in the Middle East and Iran, he is not an accomplished or recognized scholar on the subject. Baer does paint a pretty complicated picture of Iranian foreign policy and modus operandi. Something tells me that it's even _MORE_ complicated than he has boiled it down in 260 pgs.
In short, his recommendation is that the US make some sort of peace with Iran. Given the alternatives, this seems like the best solution. However, until we change the way we treat Israel (like they can do no wrong), Iran is going to be difficult to work with.
Hillary's got her work cut out for her.
I gave it 3 stars b/c it was educational for me; sort-of an Intro to Iranian Political and Foreign Affairs and Western Responses. But, it's editorialized, as you would expect. I really liked his CIA book which had more of a narrative to it. He should really stick with memoirs."
"This is the second Baer book I've read and it shocked me in much the same way that See No Evil did when I first read it. The Middle East is such a complex area that is governed by so many more factions than we, as laypeople, can understand. Baer does an outstanding job detailing why Iran is such a threat to the stability of the entire region and suggest some no-so-popular ways in which we might start trying to work toward some sort of resolution."
