About this book

The untold story of Western intelligence in the Middle East

Have Western experts fundamentally failed to understand the dynamics, leaders and culture of the Middle East?

Using the most recently declassified documents, interviews and Arabic sources, the book examines seminal case studies culminating in Sadat’s dramatic assassination and explores how the most knowledgeable and powerful intelligence agencies in the world have been so notoriously caught off guard in this region.
