Miller listed the book as one of his recommended reads for understanding how to conduct successful diplomacy in the Middle East.
I have two books on how to do successful Middle East diplomacy. Since that's kind of what we're talking about. Martin Indig's Master of the Game, Henry Kissinger in the Art of Middle East Diplomacy, and Peter Baker in Sudden Glasser's Masterful, The Man Who Ran Washington, The Life and Times of James Baker. Those are two books I would recommend about--there are real lessons there-- about how to do successful diplomacy.
