Hillary Clinton spoke about Abraham’s book at
Princeton University, while recognizing the creation of
the "S. Daniel Abraham Visiting Professorship in Middle
East Policy Studies" and its first holder, Daniel C.
Kurtzer[2].
The book is utilized as a resource by Case Western

established the Center for Middle East Peace & Economic

as part of the Clinton Global Initiative[6].
