Jimmy Carter: The Liberal Left and World Chaos: A Carter/Obama Plan That Will Not Work ReviewThis book is a GREAT read and well worth the time to experience all 550 plus pages!From my Perspective: my connection with the Middle East in general and Iran more specifically, relates to my responsibilities for master planning, design and operating a city for 10,000 people North of Esfahan, Iran (the ancient capital of Persia). The entire program was a joint venture between a subsidiary of Bell Helicopter and the government of Iran initiated in 1976 and ending as the Shah left for Egypt in 1979. The purpose of the program was an initiative of the Shah of Iran to promote industrialization, provide technical jobs and training and improve the standard of living for the Iranian people.
The development of a commercial, as well as military helicopter industry, was predicated on the establishment of a major Iranian manufacturing facility (with a phased transitioning of the manufacture and assembly responsibilities), a technical training institute (providing necessary technical skills and management training) and a self-sufficient housing community (complete with American standard schools, medical facilities, public works, housing and retail/commercial/recreational facilities). The housing community was to be an incentive for the Iranian people to participate in this project. The community was master planned and designed to embrace and be sensitive to the Iranian culture while providing an improved quality of life.
Historical Perspective: this book represents a very concentrated (and recent) historical period - January, 1977 through January, 1981 - and benefited from extensive research and investigation of government (domestic and foreign) documents and data. The breath and depth of interviews, discussions and interactions between Mike Evans and major, as well as minor "players" of the period, lend credibility to the works. The book provides a linkage between ancient cultural/religious foundations and current structural socio/eco/political elements of the period with an alignment to the "potential" ramifications for the future of the Middle East.
Educational/Teaching Perspective: a thoroughly researched, factual and chronological reporting of the events of that period. Substantiation of the core précis with names (an informative glossary of names and brief biographical sketches), places and documentation (Chronology of Jimmy Carter's Presidency, Bibliography and Endnotes) are integrated into a cohesive and balanced report. The Shah and SAVAK were "called out" not just Yasser Arafat and Ayatollah Khomeini. This should be a useful and insightful textbook for the classroom which should stand the test of scrutiny.
Biographical Perspective: an important introduction to the major "players" participating in the dynamics of the Middle East during this period. The book depicted their multi-faceted, cross-cultural roles: an insight into their individualities as well as their roles, as players, on the international stage. It is important to understand and grasp how our actions molded and transformed (emboldened or neutered) these personalities and influenced US and world policy.
Religious Perspective: a genuine attempt to provide a balanced representation of the Jewish, Muslim and Christian influence and impact on the decision making (political, economical, social) during this period. It is also important to understand the confluence of these beliefs as a part of our future policy making decisions. This book is not subtle in its warnings if we fail to put them in perspective.
Political Perspective: a well researched, documented and articulated linkage and alignment of world government actions, inactions and interactions with policy decision making....revelations about the consequences of these decisions. The book reveals posturing and politicizing across different cultures, government mechanisms and religious beliefs.......perceptions and realities.
"Jimmy Carter: The Liberal Left and World Chaos - A Carter/Obama Plan That Will Not Work" exposes many of the "root causes" of our current dilemma in the Middle East. It's complex but Mike Evans has provided a clarity which allows us to investigate the cause and effect of all of these perspectives. It should be our resolve to use this book, and others, to provide focus and resolve not to make the same mistakes in the future.
It is my specific and intentional prayer that our new President will have the opportunity to read and take counsel from Mike's great work.
