Please join CSIS on Monday, November 24 at 11:00 a.m. ET for a virtual discussion with Ambassador James F. Jeffrey on his new book, Middle East Crises.

CSIS's Dr. John J. Hamre, Seth G. Jones, Eliot A. Cohen, and Mona Yacoubian will join Ambassador Jeffrey for a conversation on Middle East Crises, which chronicles Ambassador Jeffrey's service under three American presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump detailing his roles in key hotspots like Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. Jeffrey provides vivid recollections of war-zone diplomacy and the balancing act of military and political leadership in the region. From the early challenges of the Iraq War to the emergence of ISIS, and the complexities of dealing with leaders like Erdogan and Putin, his narrative captures the volatile and ever-changing landscape of Middle Eastern affairs.

Both memoir and analysis, Middle East Crises is an essential read for anyone interested in the realities of diplomacy, war, and American power in one of the world’s most complex regions.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
