Stephen Eric Bronner is Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University. He is the author of numerous books.
"An impressive example of using the realist sensibility in pursuit
of the democratic project. Readable, serious, and engaged, it shows
why political theorists should address political problems" --
Michael MacDonald, Frederick L. Schuman Chair of International
Relations, Willia
"Bronner combines brilliant writing, encyclopedic scholarship, and
real-world engagement, a feat that transforms the ivory tower of
academe into a kind of siege engine assaulting the ramparts of
arrogant political power. Nowhere is his substantive analysis more
vital than it is in the convoluted politics of the Middle East, and
nowhere is this book's keen insight and incisive clarity more
needed than it is among America's recent policymakers in
Washington." -- James E. Jennings, President, Conscience
International, and Executive Director,
"Bronner offers a much deeper analysis of the crises engulfing the
Middle East than is available through conventional explanations.
The author's recent extensive travels in the cradle of
civilization, his astute observations, and his scholarly research
have helped him write a unique and precious book. It provides new
avenues of thought and innovative public policies for peace,
regional development, and democracy." -- Dr. Hooshang Amirahmadi,
Founder and President of the American-Iranian Council,
"Combines ethics with realism, and personal experience with
political insight, in dealing with the crises of our time. As a
human rights advocate, and someone who has seen the horror and
tragedy of war first hand, I highly recommend it. This book is a
great read." -- Bianca Jagger, a member of the Executive Director's
Leadership Council for Amnes
"Fascinating. A well informed journey through the contours of U.S.
foreign and military policy, the Middle East cauldron, the rapidly
changing political situations across several countries in the
region, and a variety of cultural and political representation of
the contemporary crisis. This is a significant piece of work. A
solid scholarly contribution to literature not only in the area of
international relations but to theoretical understandings of
political culture and political ideology in many settings. " --
Carl Boggs, author of Imperial Delusions: American Militarism and
the Endless W
"Peace Out of Reach is one man's journey, a travel story searching
amid modern history and the ruins of past policies for a new and
relevant "roadmap" of recommendations that might reconcile a
region." -- Michael Thomas Kuchinsky, Human Rights & Human
Welfare
"Stephen Eric Bronner's "Peace Out of Reach" is both a deeply
personal account and a careful analysis of the crises currently
threatening the cradle of civilization. Whether you are for or
against continued or escalated military action in the Middle East,
Bronner's essays can open your mind to new ideas." --

developments in the Middle East and beyond. It promises to enrich
both the academic debate and the political discourse by presenting
an analysis that reflects on norms, events, and more important, on

considerations." -- Michael Forman, author of Nationalism and the
International Labor Movement: The
"This books combines a journalistic liveliness with scholarly
gravitas: a difficult mix for anyone to achieve, yet so well
accomplished by Stephen Bronner. His provocative political analysis
makes this journey through the Middle East highly engaging and
enriching." -- Micheline Ishay, author of The History of Human
Rights
