Four must-read books on Trump’s Middle East policies
What we learned from Michael Wolff, John Bolton and Bob Woodward about the Trump administration and the Middle East.
Our end-of-year columns and articles sometimes include reviews of books we read, or re-read, on the Middle East.
This year, with the Trump administration winding down, we thought to take a similar tack.
The four books here are must-reads on the Trump administration, including how US President Donald Trump approached the region.
They provide essential detail and background on the evolution of Jared Kushner’s strategy for the Middle East, and how it influenced planning for Trump’s first foreign trip as president to Saudi Arabia; the twists and turns of US policy toward Syria and Iran; the positions of Trump's advisers and Cabinet members on the key decisions; and more.
