“The Mighty and the Almighty” by Albright
It’s obvious this book has a democratic party slant. Still, it’s interesting the history recounted of how lack of understanding of the importance and role of religion in other countries has led to missteps in American foreign policy. For example, the support of corrupt and unpopular secular governments in South Vietnam and Iran led to successful revolts. On other matters, the book agrees with conventional wisdom to engage and even assist legitimate moderate Muslim leaders.
