Foreign correspondent and Boston University professor Stephen Kinzer discusses his book *Reset: Iran, Turkey, and America's Future*, which examines the complex state of Middle East politics. What can the United States do to help realize its dream of a peaceful, democratic Middle East? In *Reset*, Stephen Kinzer offers a surprising answer. Two countries in the region, he argues, are America's logical partners in the 21st century: Turkey and Iran. Besides proposing this new "power triangle," Kinzer also recommends that the United States reshape relations with its two traditional Middle East allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia. In *Reset*, Kinzer introduces us to larger-than-life figures, like a Nebraska schoolteacher who became a martyr to democracy in Iran, a Turkish radical who transformed his country and Islam forever, and a colorful parade of princes, politicians, women of the world, spies, oppressors, liberators, and dreamers.
