Reviews

"[Narrator Michael Prichard's] ability to turn laborious historical narrative into nuanced, comfortable sentences makes the story easy to follow and remember.-- ""AudioFile"" ""An authoritative, richly detailed account of American policy in the Middle East...[Tyler] writes vividly, allowing the reader access to White House meetings, huddles in the corridors of power, seats at international summits."" -- ""New York Times"" ""Patrick Tyler...has written an engaging but idiosyncratic account of US interactions with the Middle East from 1956 onward."" -- ""Washington Post"" ""Rich in irony and incident, Patrick Tyler's history of the White House and the Middle East would make instructive reading for the latest occupant of the Oval Office...A lucid and even-handed introduction to a deeply contentious subject."" -- ""Sunday Times (London)"" ""Tyler documents not the interest of Israel but the cost in treasure and blood that the United States and the Middle East peoples have paid during decades without a coherent US policy in the region. He shows vividly the damage done by Israeli and Arab leaders alike in persistently bringing too little, too late, to the peace process."" -- ""Boston Globe"" ""Tyler is forthright in a way American journalists usually are not...[A World of Trouble] completes a formidable charge sheet against the occupants of the White House over the last half century which is, in its page-by-page human detail, as gripping as it is depressing."" -- ""Guardian (London)"""
