In this provocative and timely book, Middle East expert Lee
Smith overturns long-held Western myths and assumptions about the
Arab world, offering advice for America’s future success in the
region.
Seeking the motivation behind the September 11 attacks, Smith
moved to Cairo, where he discovered that the standard explanation—a
clash of East and West—was simply not the case. Middle East
conflicts have little to do with Israel, the United States, or the
West in general, but are endemic to the region. According to
Smith’s “Strong Horse Doctrine,” the Arab world naturally aligns
itself with strength, power, and violence. He argues that America
must be the strong horse in order to reclaim its role there, and
that only by understanding the nature of the region’s ancient
conflict can we succeed.
