In Peace Out of Reach, Stephen Eric Bronner offers an intriguing
analysis and eyewitness account of the political and ideological
conflicts plaguing the Middle East. Sharply critical of the United
States' policies in Afghanistan and Iraq and concerned about our
nation's declining credibility throughout the world, Bronner
examines the unexplored possibilities and recurrent roadblocks in
the struggle for peace. Whether visiting academics in Iran,
refugees in Palestine, or the president of Syria, Bronner seeks to
listen and learn. These experiences have shaped Bronner's
understanding of how the political crises in the Middle East have
dramatically influenced Western politics and culture. Peace Out of
Reach also investigates the extraordinary controversies generated
by the publication of blasphemous cartoons of the prophet Mohammed,
the religious conservatism of Pope Benedict XVI, the character of
contemporary anti-Semitism, and the connection between human rights
and personal faith. Peace Out of Reach is both a study in foreign
policy and a philosophical inquiry that raises profound ethical
questions about the world and the United States' role in it. It
links experience with erudition and objective analysis with
strategic proposals for change. This book will undoubtedly resonate
with all people seeking an alternative to the discredited policies
of the past. It contributes mightily to the cultivation of a
cosmopolitan and democratic politics.
