Joel C. Rosenberg brings his background as a bestselling political thriller writer to bear on real world events in this nonfiction analysis. The author, an evangelical Christian from Orthodox Jewish roots, examines current developments in Iraq, Russia, Israel, and the broader Middle East through the lens of biblical prophecy. Rosenberg draws on his Washington experience and conducts exclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian, and Russian leaders while accessing previously classified CIA and White House materials. He connects geopolitical shifts to scriptural predictions, arguing that dramatic transformations are reshaping nations like post-Saddam Iraq, post-Communist Russia, and post-Arafat Israel. The book addresses whether Iraq will deteriorate further, if Israel and Arab neighbors can achieve peace, and why Russia develops new nuclear weapons while aligning with radical Islam. Rosenberg weaves together political analysis with his Christian faith, presenting Scripture as a reliable guide for understanding both historical events and future developments.
