Summary |
''A fascinating study of the role of fear and anxiety in shaping Middle Eastern political behavior.''--Monte Palmer, professor emeritus, Florida State University Michel Nehme is the first to argue that a little-discussed aspect of Arab society and government--the fear that is both used as a weapon by government and felt by the people--has created some of the region's most deep-seated problems and hindered the development and growth of the Arab people. |
