With over one million novels in print, New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg has been called "eerily prophetic" and a "modern Nostradamus" for his uncanny ability to write political thrillers that come true. In his first nonfiction book, this evangelical Christian from an Orthodox Jewish heritage takes readers on an unforgettable journey through prophecy and current events into the future of Iraq after Saddam, Russia after Communism, Israel after Arafat, and Christianity after radical Islam. You won't want to miss Joel's exclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian, and Russian leaders, and previously classified CIA and White House documents. Similar to the approach Joel takes in his novels, his desire is to draw readers into stories, anecdotes, and predictions in a way that builds confidence that allows Joel to share his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture as a guide to understanding the past and the future.
Drawing on his experience in Washington, his own exclusive interviews with world leaders, and his astute political acumen, Joel makes sense of the events surrounding the Middle East. He connects information in a way that will make you understand and really care about the world's most important events and how they impact your life--from gas prices to your bank account.

Interesting for research purposes, but overlooks important issues.:
I always try to get all sides of the story when I research a topic like this, as any good intellectual would, and that is the reason this book was given to me. There are certain baseline assumptions that Rosenberg begins with that I find completely unacceptable. Those being that the Palestinians do NOT have equal rights to the Israelis, that anyone Washington or Israel deems as an enemy does NOT have the right to acquire nuclear weapons...when Israel has a nuclear arsenal that could wipe out the entire... more info
Worth moving to #1 position in your que of books to read!:
I am not an avid reader, but could not put this books down. If you have ever wondered what the fulfillment of Bible prophecy might look like given the current geopolitical environment then give this a read. It will make your hair stand on end, and if you believe in the accuracy and validity of the Bible it will help prepare you for defense of God's word in these rapidly changing times.
