He has been a consultant on Middle East politics and policies for most agencies of the US government and across almost every administration since Jimmy Carter’s.

Among his books are Arabs in the Jewish State (1980); For the Land and the Lord (1988, 1994); Unsettled States, Disputed Lands (1993); Trapped in the War on Terror (2006); and Paradigm Lost (2019).
