From Raising Lambs to Advising World Leaders

New Book: Unparalleled Journey by Arya Abbas Amirie


This book is the story of determination, focus and the audacity to dream on a scale beyond any that the author’s peers or family could have envisaged. Coming to the U.S. without any financial support and an English vocabulary of fewer than 40 words, he far exceeded his initial expectations by earning a Ph.D., a professorship and the honor of delivering the Commencement Address to the 1975 Graduating Class of his alma mater where he was given an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. The book consists of two parts—

Part One inspires the young generation to aim high and achieve great goals:

*How to overcome great odds and obstacles with determination and ingenuity

*How to cope with cultural differences and social barriers

*Why you must forsake the past and concentrate on the future

*How to turn adversity and negative attitudes to positive forces for success



Part Two—With a 20-year background as Professor of Middle East politics,
the author analyzes key regional conflicts and advises how to resolve them:

*Why the divide between Shiites and Sunnis is unbridgeable

*How U.S. action in 1953 led to the 1979 Revolution and world terrorism

*The real causes of the Shah of Iran’s downfall and the U.S. role

*What role does oil play in wars and conflicts in the Middle East?

*Where do most suicide bombers come from and why?

*Why the U.S.—Iran Proxy War in Iraq won’t end in U.S. favor
