In 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.
