Steven Cook’s insights and analysis are indeed highly regarded when it comes to understanding U.S. policy in the Middle East.
In his recent book, “The End of Ambition: America’s Past, Present, and Future in the Middle East,” Steven reflects when prior to 1979 the U.S. enjoyed a series of diplomatic successes. He contrasts this with the last 40 years which have been marked by a series of strategic missteps-the forever wars, the Arab Spring’s aftermath and the overall shift from traditional U.S. goals in the region. Cook suggests that while disengagement isn’t a viable option, the U.S. can develop a strategy to focus on selective areas where its interests are most at stake.

Author James Graham Wilson joins us for another episode of WorldNow with Jim Falk on Paul Nitze, America’s most influential national security strategist throughout the Cold War.
“This book is not a stale history of an insignificant person. It is a well written, fascinating story centered around a very influential man. It just happens that the man’s name is unknown to most, even if his acts are not…America’s Cold Warrior is a book for the casual reader and policy wonk alike. If you enjoy history, war, or great biographies, this book is for you.” – Global Security Review
