President Barack Obama’s first trip abroad in his second term took him to Israel and the Palestinian West Bank, where he despondently admitted to those waiting for words of encouragement, “It is a hard slog to work through all of these issues.” Contrast this gloomy assessment with Obama’s optimism on the second day of his first term, when he appointed former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell as his special envoy for Middle East peace, boldly asserting that his administration would “actively and aggressively seek a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians.” How is it that Obama’s active and aggressive search for progress has become mired in the status quo? Writer and political analyst Josh Ruebner charts Obama’s journey from optimism to frustration in the first hard-hitting investigation into why the president failed to make any progress on this critical issue, and how his unwillingness to challenge the Israel lobby has shattered hopes for peace. Written in a clear and accessible style by the advocacy director of a national peace organization and former Middle East analyst for the Congressional Research Service, Shattered Hopes offers an informed history of the Obama administration’s policies and maps out a true path forward for the United States to help achieve Israeli-Palestinian peace.

The Chronicles Of Muguland [Book I]: Shattered Hopes The Chronicles Of Muguland is a historical 'faction' novel series (a 'faction novel' is a combination of fiction and nonfiction) based on the Saga of an African nation that was blessed with everything God can give any nation to make it great, but which still failed miserably to live up to its potential for greatness. This Book I in the short-book series narrates the heartbreaking tale of how a fictional African country, called Muguland, blessed with so many great human and natural resources squandered its potential for greatness. Using the fictional African nation of Muguland as the focal point, this historical faction book series also explores how a nation with so much potential for greatness became a nation of chronic underachievers because of the ego, greed, and inordinate ambition for power by its leaders, and the complicity of its citizens. Since this is a book of faction, the reader is left to figure out which parts of the tale are facts, and which parts are fiction, while being entertained by the fast-moving narration of events. As you read through and try to verify which incidents are facts, and which are fiction, you will surely have fun as you read through this fast-moving thriller. Other Books to watch out for in the Chronicles Of Muguland Series: Brothers At War; The Reign Of Generals; The Evil Genius And The Generous Tycoon; General Mad Dog; The Return Of Ebora; The Season Of Professor Goodluck; The Last Dance Of Bubu; The Kingmaker's Metamorphosis

The most thorough account yet available of a revolution that saw the first true agrarian reform in Central America, this book is also a penetrating analysis of the tragic destruction of that revolution. In no other Central American country was U.S. intervention so decisive and so ruinous, charges Piero Gleijeses. Yet he shows that the intervention can be blamed on no single "convenient villain." "Extensively researched and written with conviction and passion, this study analyzes the history and downfall of what seems in retrospect to have been Guatemala's best government, the short-lived regime of Jacobo Arbenz, overthrown in 1954, by a CIA-orchestrated coup."--Foreign Affairs "Piero Gleijeses offers a historical road map that may serve as a guide for future generations. . . . [Readers] will come away with an understanding of the foundation of a great historical tragedy."--Saul Landau, The Progressive "[Gleijeses's] academic rigor does not prevent him from creating an accessible, lucid, almost journalistic account of an episode whose tragic consequences still reverberate."--Paul Kantz, Commonweal
