As Barack Obama seeks to chart a new course in American foreign policy, David Gardner addresses the controversial but urgent why is the Middle East so dysfunctional? And what can be done about it?Clear-sighted and never flinching from uncomfortable truths, Gardner draws on his acute grasp of history and decades of experience covering the region to look at why conflict, despotism and sectarianism continue to flourish in the Arab world whilst they decline elsewhere.
