This book is a collection of the author's best, most relevant academic and journalistic works from 62 years of his creative career. The focus is on Islam and the Muslim world, including the Iranian anti-Shah revolution, the war in Afghanistan, the situation in South Arabia, the Persian Gulf countries, and the Arab Spring, all of which the author participated in or witnessed. Personal experience enabled him to write about postcolonial Africa, the US defeat in Vietnam, and prominent figures of an era divided into the Soviet and post-Soviet periods.
