Summary: Good historical context but nothing new.
Comment: Simons is very critical of the Bush & Clinton Administrations, as well as Arab dictatorships. He exposes much of the hypocrisy of western Realpolitik as applied to the Gulf. But is it really a surprise that big powers have selfish interests? Simons gives an excellent historical context but is weak on current trends and economics. He offered little productive insight or proposals to resolve the situation. I hoped for more commentary from the normally insightful Tony Benn in his too-brief introduction.
