"Ivory Towers on Sand - The Failure of Middle Eastern Studies in America" is a critical analysis of the state of Middle Eastern studies in American universities. The author, Martin S. Kramer, scrutinizes the academic field's historical development, methodologies, and political biases. Kramer argues that Middle Eastern studies have failed to predict or explain major events in the region, including the Iranian revolution, the Lebanon war, and the rise of radical Islam, due to a tendency to romanticize the Middle East and downplay its problems. The book also explores the influence of government funding and political correctness on the field. Kramer's work is a controversial and thought-provoking critique of a significant area of academia.
