Joel C. Rosenberg - Enemies and allies : an unforgettable journey inside the fast-moving & immensely turbulent modern Middle East

Everyone who cares about the future of Israel and the Middle East should read this book. Rosenberg is a shrewd observer of the tectonic changes underway in the region. And his rare and unique access puts you inside the room with some of the most powerful Arab, Israeli, and American leaders shaping the future of war, peace, and religious freedom in our time.

MIKE PENCE, former vice president

If theres one book you read about the Middle East this year, this should be it. Few people understand the scope and scale of change in the region better than Joel C. Rosenberg. This guy gets it!

MIKE HUCKABEE, former governor of Arkansas

Enemies and Allies should be required reading in the White House, Congress, and the Knesset. Rosenberg lays out in fascinating and vivid detail why more and more Arab leaders want to make peace with Israel, even as the terror masters in Tehran want to bring about a second Holocaust. And Rosenberg is right whats needed now is a new and far more robust strategic alliance between the U.S., Israel, and the Sunni Arab world to defend Western civilization against the perils of the Persian Bomb.

DANNY AYALON, former Israeli ambassador to the United States and deputy foreign minister

It is unusual for an ordinary Israeli citizen with no position of power no political or diplomatic or intelligence credentials to be invited to meet with some of the most consequential leaders in the Arab world. Yet it happened. Not once but over and over again. This is a huge story. Joel C. Rosenberg has spent hour upon hour with Arab kings and crown princes, presidents and prime ministers, even His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Salman, heir to the Saudi throne, and his inner circle. A recent immigrant to Israel and an evangelical, Rosenberg has built trust with these leaders. Befriended them. Listened to them. And was even granted permission to share these unprecedented conversations with the rest of us. He has worked tirelessly urging them to expand religious freedom for Jews and Christians, visit the Holy City of Jerusalem, and make peace. This is an amazing tale so amazing that I suspect Enemies and Allies is going to be widely read not just in America and in Israel, but throughout the Arab world probably in Tehran, Moscow, and Ankara, too as well it should. Rosenberg has written a significant and insightful book about the future of the Middle East.

MAJOR GENERAL Aharon Zeevi Farkash, IDF, retired, former head of Israeli military intelligence

Two decades after 9/11, the Middle East is in the midst of some of the most profound changes in modern history. While new and grave threats are rising, so are new opportunities for security, peace, and prosperity for the region. My friend Joel an evangelical from a Jewish background develops a spellbinding narrative in Enemies and Allies by recounting his many providential encounters with the most prominent leaders in Israel and the Arab Muslim world. The impact of these engagements will continue to shape U.S. policies in the region for years to come. I can think of few intelligence operatives, much less New York Times bestselling authors, who have a keener sense of what is happening, what it means, or why it matters than Joel C. Rosenberg. Enemies and Allies is proof of that.

DAVID SHEDD, former acting director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency

Ive known Joel Rosenberg for more than twenty years. Ive traveled with him on the historic delegations he has led to meet with the top leaders in the Arab world. And I can tell you this is a man who truly gets whats happening in the Middle East and cares deeply about advancing the cause of peace and human rights for Jews and Christians and for Muslims. His new work, Enemies and Allies, is the most important book about Israel, Iran, and the Arab world in years, and I cant recommend it highly enough.

J. KENNETH BLACKWELL, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, former Ohio secretary of state, and member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the board of advisors of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA)

Rosenberg nails it! Enemies and Allies is timely and terrifying. The definitive, must-read book for every patriot who cares about the future of freedom. Based on his exclusive and extensive conversations with senior U.S., Israeli, and Arab leaders and intelligence officials, Rosenberg reveals what the mainstream media wont tell you: why the single greatest threat in the Middle East to the national security of the American people, Israel, and our Arab allies is the apocalyptic, genocidal regime in Iran. But Rosenberg goes further, explaining how exponentially more dangerous Tehran becomes as it builds alliances with the dictators of Russia, Turkey, North Korea, and China. And why the clock is ticking for the free world to act to strengthen our allies and neutralize our enemies before its too late.

RICK SANTORUM, former senator and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee

Enemies and Allies is a highly engaging journey through the pitfalls and possibilities of the modern Middle East in which Israel is emerging as a true asset for security and stability, not seen as the source of all trouble. Joel offers readers his front-row seat to history through personal conversations with all the key personalities shaping the future of the region, from Netanyahu to Trump to MBS. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the genesis of the Abraham Accords and their aftermath.

VICTORIA COATES, former U.S. deputy national security advisor for Middle Eastern and North African affairs at the National Security Council

This informed account of Mideast travail by a qualified front-row witness will cheer the peacemakers and frustrate the appeasers and apologists. There is no denying that Joel Rosenbergs chronicle of his journey through these pivotal historic events puts critical pieces of the puzzle credibly on the table. That he finishes with an optimistic outlook is encouraging and testimony to his deep faith.

PORTER GOSS, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency

In Enemies and Allies, my friend Joel C. Rosenberg takes you where few people get to go inside meetings with powerful Arab and Israeli leaders who are literally reshaping the future of the Middle East. Ive been at his side as he has asked these leaders hard questions, pressed for peace, championed religious freedom, and done so with deep conviction and genuine respect. This is a fascinating book that will take you behind the scenes during a whirlwind of unlikely yet momentous events that are raising critical questions that must be answered soon: Who exactly are our enemies? Who are our allies? And where does all this fast-moving change go from here?
