Abstract
The resurgence of Islam is a constant theme in the writings of J.B. Kelly from the 1980's to his death in 2009, and it is appropriate therefore that it should be reflected in the title of this third, and final, volume of his collected essays and reviews. The title, taken from his lecture to the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C. in 1980, captures the surreal, Alice-in-Wonderland nature of Middle Eastern politics and was intended to enable his American audience to peer through the looking-glass of the Middle East and to understand how to navigate the political labyrinth of the Persian Gulf and the wider region.
