I try to pull out my name, but it doesn't come. I think harder, but it's hopeless. And then I find it: embroidered in neat, red lettering across the left chest of my shirt: DAMIAN."Damian?" I ask the room and wait for its answer.The name looks up at me with stitched deliberateness, but it's as foreign as the stark whiteness around me."Damian?" I run fingers over its fibers, and repeat.It's a stranger's name on my lips.In the face of imminent death, Damian is somehow alive. Clad in white cotton, he's the haunting image of a world he doesn't remember. But he will. Soon. His mom's there, and she promises clarity and safety with The Light. She promises they'll emerge to remake a world that's been lost. But her power over them all is unnerving, and when her plan for the Alpha becomes clear, Damian must decide between what's filling his head and a heart that beats something else.

Douglas Little explores the stormy American relationship with the Middle East from World War II through the war in Iraq, focusing particularly on the complex and often inconsistent attitudes and interests that helped put the United States on a collision course with radical Islam early in the new millennium. After documenting the persistence of "orientalist" stereotypes in American popular culture, Little examines oil, Israel, and other aspects of U.S. policy. He concludes that a peculiar blend of arrogance and ignorance has led American officials to overestimate their ability to shape events in the Middle East from 1945 through the present day, and that it has been a driving force behind the Iraq war. For this updated third edition, Little covers events through 2007, including a new chapter on the Bush Doctrine, demonstrating that in many important ways, George W. Bush's Middle Eastern policies mark a sharp break with the past.
