Rock the Casbah: Rage and Rebellion Across the Islamic World with a new concluding chapter by the author
The Islamists are Coming
Dreams and Shadows: The Future of the Middle East
Sacred Rage: The Wrath of Militant Islam
The Last Great Revolution: Turmoil and Transformation in Iran
Tough Questions, Great Answers: Responding to Patient Concerns About Today's Dentistry
Wright takes a look at the activists and movements now beginning to change the world's most volatile region. The challenges are still many. But almost a decade after the 9/11 attacks, a wide array of characters – from feminists and bloggers, thinkers and judges, religious leaders and students – are rejecting extremism while also challenging the status quo in unusual ways.
President Obama is changing America's dealings with the world on issues ranging from Iraq and Afghanistan, to Russia and China, and from energy to terrorism. Wright looks at the 10 pressing problems the new president will face around the world – and how his administration will tackle them.
As a journalist and author who has lived or traveled in over 140 countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, Wright takes a look at trends around the world in the 21st century.
Thirty years after its Islamic revolution, Iran is more of a challenge than ever before because of its controversial nuclear program. Bush opted to use military might in Afghanistan and Iraq. How will Obama deal with the challenge of Iran, which has emerged as the superpower of the Middle East?
Women are one of the two most important engines of change worldwide in the 21st century. From a woman born into a Moroccan harem to a South African doctor taking on poverty and an Iranian human rights lawyer who won the Nobel Peace Prize, an eclectic array of women are redefining the goals and means of activism. Hear their stories from someone who has met them and can analyze what they mean for countries around the world.
We are joined by journalist and author Robin Wright and Les Gelb, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations. (Source: Bloomberg)
