The result is as tragic as it is paradoxical: originally deployed as pawns to foil nationalism and communism, extremist mullahs and ayatollahs now dominate the landscape, thundering against freedom of thought, science, women's rights, secularism--and their former patron. \u003cbr\u003eChronicling a history of double-dealing, cynical exploitation, and humiliating embarrassment that continues to this day, \u003ci\u003eDevil's Game\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a pattern that, far from furthering democracy or security, ensures a future of blunders and blowback.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Dreyfuss\u003c\/b\u003e, who covers national security for \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, has written extensively on Iraq and the war on terrorism for \u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe American Prospect\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMother Jones\u003c\/i\u003e.
