{"product_id":"the-struggle-for-mastery-in-fouad-ajami-9780817917555","title":"The Struggle for Mastery in the Fertile Crescent","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Fouad Ajami analyzes the struggle for influence along the Fertile Crescent--the stretch of land that runs from Iran's border with Iraq to the Mediterranean--among three of the regional powers who have stepped into the vacuum left by the West: Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. He explains that, of the three powers competing for influence, Saudi Arabia and Iran are in it for the long haul. Each of those powers has a sense of mission and constituencies that enable them to stick it out and pay the price for a sphere of influence. Each country's prospects for supremacy is detailed and Ajami asserts that Iran must ultimately be reckoned to be the strongest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fouad Ajami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817917551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817917555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hoover Institution Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.12h x 4.54w x 0.14d","brand":"Fouad Ajami","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065185743103,"sku":"9780817917555","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81ef1aa3-416d-40e1-a3e8-e8de573f2fb1.jpg?v=1768673559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-struggle-for-mastery-in-fouad-ajami-9780817917555","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
