About this title

Synopsis

A Clear, Powerful Examination of America's Role in the Middle East

In As the Sand Shifts, Dr. Riad Aisami-scholar and expert in U.S.-Middle East relations-offers a sharp, accessible analysis of how American strategy in the region has evolved from World War II to today. Drawing from decades of research and firsthand experience, he explores five key issues shaping the modern Middle East: the Arab-Israeli conflict, Iran's nuclear ambitions, Russia's resurgence, China's global rise, and the war in Syria.

Dr. Aisami reveals how long-standing U.S. policies, rooted in Cold War thinking, no longer meet the demands of today's geopolitical landscape. He argues for a bold shift toward soft power, smart diplomacy, and constructive regional engagement.

Clear, informative, and timely, As the Sand Shifts is an essential guide for students, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the forces driving one of the world's most strategic regions.
