Judith Miller (born January 2, 1948) is an American journalist and commentator. She worked in The New York Times' Washington bureau before joining Fox News. Miller became embroiled in controversy after her coverage of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) program both before and after the 2003 invasion was discovered to have been based on the inaccurate information in the intelligence investigations, particularly those stories that were based on sourcing from the now-disgraced Ahmed Chalabi. The New York Times later determined that a number of stories she had written for the paper were inaccurate. Miller was involved in the Plame Affair, in which the status of Valerie Plame as a member of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) became widely known. When asked to name her sources, Miller invoked reporter's privilege and refused to reveal her sources in the Central Intelligence Agency leak and spent 85 days in jail protecting her source, Scooter Libby. Miller was forced to resign from her job at The New York Times in November 2005. Later, she was a contributor to the Fox News Channel. More

Vali Reza Nasr (born 20 December 1960) is an Iranian-American academic and author, specializing in the Middle East and the Islamic world. He is Majid Khaddouri Professor of International Affairs and Middle East Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, D.C. He served as the eighth dean of the school from 2012 to 2019. Nasr is also a Non-Resident Fellow in South Asia at Atlantic Council and is described by The Economist as "a leading world authority on Shia Islam". He taught at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy of Tufts University, University of San Diego, and the Naval Postgraduate School. Drawing from his decades of scholarship and specifically from his two-year tenure as senior adviser to Richard Holbrooke, the president’s special adviser to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Nasr accuses the Obama White House of lacking any strategic vision for the Middle East and abandoning diplomacy and economic engagement in favor of shortsighted, tactical maneuvers driven by domestic politics and opinion polls. An informed, smoothly argued brief that will surely rattle windows at the White House. More

New York: Frederick A. Praeger, 1963. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Hardcover. 22 cm, 171 pages, notes, bibliography, index, former owner's bookplate inside front flyleaf. Front DJ flap price clipped. This book is number 126 in the series of Praeger Publications in Russian History and World Communism. The work here presented to the reader is the result of study followed up by personal observation. We first assessed the Soviet threat to Iran, Turkey, and Afghanistan on the basis of available historical material, and then undertook our journeys in an effort to get a clearer evaluation by on-the-spot observation. We have traveled to Iran and Turkey a number of times in recent years, and in 1960 we both visited Afghanistan. We are concerned with the threat that is posed to these countries by the Russia created by the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution of 1917. More
