Book Description

"David Gardner’s book is the most lively, well-informed and controversial overview of the Middle East to appear for several years. It will instruct, entertain, but also infuriate many readers, because his rapier thrusts invariably strike home. To understand this turbulent region, this is a must read. David Gardner is one of Britain’s leading foreign affairs experts. His sources are unique, his range awesome and his indictment of Arab tyranny and Western connivance devastating and unanswerable."

Patrick Seale, author of Asad of Syria 

"At last, a book that goes to the heart of the eternal Middle East Crisis. David Gardner writes courageously and candidly of the West's 'support and indulgence' of corrupt Arab tyrannies, an indulgence that far from securing stability, breeds extremism. He also spells out how US and UK support for Israel has solidified even in the face of Israel's strengthening grip on the Palestinians and the occupied West Bank. This is a book that should be in the hand baggage of every one of President Obama's Middle East negotiators."

Jon Snow, Channel Four News

"Timely, absorbing, and deeply disturbing...Last Chance is central to any understanding of the problems and prospects of the Middle East in the twenty-first century."

Avi Shlaim, Professor of International Relations,

St. Antony's College, Oxford
