To Hell in a Handbasket: Carter, Obama, and the "Arab Spring"

by Ruthie Blum

Overview

"To Hell in a Handbasket" is a chilling account of how Jimmy Carter's abandonment of a longtime U.S. ally in favor of a murderous mullah thirty years ago enabled the Islam­ization of Iran—and how Barack Obama's current oblivion to and appeasement of the radical Muslim world are helping to Islamize the rest of the Middle East.

Editorial Reviews

“Whether Barack Obama is another Jimmy Carter is unfortunately not just academic speculation. Carter was bad enough, especially in the Middle East, but Obama is close on his heels. A second Obama term could well bring a nuclear Iran, a militantly anti-Israeli Egypt, and the overthrow of the pro-American Arab monarchies. The United States needs to wake up to what is happening, and Ruthie Blum's book is just the ticket. Let's hope she doesn't have to write a sequel.”

John Bolton

“The esteemed writer and commentator Ruthie Blum has produced a timely and essential account of President Obama’s betrayal of a longtime U.S. ally, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and its consequences for America’s vital national-security interests. ... Blum demonstrates the timeless truth of George Santayana’s lament that ‘those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.’”
