'Timely, absorbing, and deeply disturbing?? Last Chance is central to any understanding of the problems and prospects of the Middle East in the 21st century.' - Avi Shlaim, Professor of International Relations, St Antony's College, Oxford 'David Gardner's book is the most lively, well-informed and controversial overview of the Middle East to appear for several years. It will instruct, entertain, but also infuriate many readers, because his rapier thrusts invariably strike home. To understand this turbulent region, this is a must read. David Gardner is one of Britain's leading foreign affairs experts. His sources are unique, his range awesome and his indictment of Arab tyranny and Western connivance devastating and unanswerable.' - Patrick Seale. 'This book should be in the hand baggage of every one of President Obama's Middle East negotiators.' - Jon Snow, Channel 4 'Yet, having read this beautifully written, page-turner of a book, I find myself clinging desperately to a few shards of hope. We can; really we can.' - Chris Patten, FINANCIAL TIMES
