""Wright has long been one of the best-informed American journalists covering the Middle East, and her reputation is born out here....

Her book will be essential reading for anybody who wants to know where it is heading.""-The New York Times Book Review

The transformation of the Middle East is an issue that will absorb-and challenge-the world for generations to come. Dreams and Shadows is the book to read to understand the sweeping political and cultural changes that have occurred in recent decades. Drawing on thirty-five years of reporting in two dozen countries, including Israel, Palestine, Iran, Egypt, and Syria, through wars, revolutions, and uprisings as well as the birth of new democracy movements and a new generation of activists, award-winning journalist and Middle East expert Robin Wright has created a masterpiece of the reporter's art and a work of profound and enduring insight into one of the most confounding areas of the world.
