Security Issues in the Greater Middle East

World leaders including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and U.S. President Barack Obama are among 30 chapter contributors, alongside leading experts in academia, the military, and government and international organizations, in this new anthology focused on security issues within the Greater Middle East, now consisting of the traditional Middle East core countries plus the new republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Drones, the Benghazi attacks, and ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq) are among the topics discussed, in works that are either policy documents, speeches, or essays, most previously published elsewhere, with some updated for this new volume. An appendix providing IDs on prominent people mentioned in the text and a glossary of terms are also included.
