Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East: 1776 to the Present, a history of American involvement in the Middle East by Michael Oren, was published by W.W. Norton & Co. in 2007 and quickly became a New York Times bestseller.
The Power in the title refers to the United States' military, diplomatic and financial strength to pursue its interests in the Middle East.[1] Faith, in the words of Oren, refers to "impact of religion in the shaping of American attitudes and policies toward the Middle East."[1] And fantasy refers to the image Americans themselves shaped of the Middle East.[1]
The audiobook version is performed by Norman Dietz.[2]
