A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR

A WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

'Few American journalists are a s familiar with the Middle East as Robin Wright . . . An engaging tour of a complex area.'
-Ethan Bronner, The New York Times

The transformation of the Middle East is an issue that will absorb - and challenge - the world for generations to come. Dreams and Shadows is the book to read to understand it. Award-winning journalist and Middle East expert Robin Wright draws on thirty-five years of reporting in two dozen countries - through wars, revolutions, and uprisings as well as the birth of new democracy movements and a new generation of activists - to provide a tour d'horizon of what lies ahead in one of the world's most confronting areas. Based on firsthand interviews, the book is animated by the characters-from the region's most important leaders to political prisoners and street protestors-whose stories give change in the region a human dimension and urgency.

'If there is such a thing as a pinnacle in the landscape of international journalism, Robin Wright surely stands atop it. [Wright] recounts her impressions with wisdom, clarity, and a sharp critical eye.'
- The New York Review of Books

'A thought-provoking and eminently readable look at the current and future generation of leaders in that important, politically troubled region . . . Wright's skills at old-fashioned shoe-leather reporting are very much in evidence.'
- The Boston Globe
