Summary
America’s Great Game: A Tale of Myths, Ambition, and Intrigue in the Middle East
An absorbing account of romantics enchanted by Kiplingesque myths and the Lawrence of Arabia legend, who cynically harboured the self-contradictory ambition of democratizing the Arab world and Iran while arrogating all decisions to themselves.
