Requests:  0 Summary:  By mixing anecdotes with information gleaned from clandestine sources, ex-CIA operative Robert Baer superbly demonstrates that Iran, far from being a wild-eyed rogue state, is a rational actor--one skilled in the game of nations and so effective at thwarting perceived Western colonialism that even rival Sunnis relish fighting under its banner. For U.S. policy makers, the choices have narrowed: either cede the world's most important energy corridors to a nation that can match us militarily with its asymmetric capabilities (which include the use of suicide bombers)--or deal with the devil we know.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library LLH Closed Stacks 955.054 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 955.054 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 955.054 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList
