Middleeastbook.com

middleeastbooks.com is a project of the American Educational Trust, a non-profit, non-partisan organization incorporated in 1982 in Washington, DC, by retired U.S. Foreign Service Officers. For more than 25 years, the American Educational Trust (AET) has been promoting U.S.-Middle East understanding with an emphasis on informed debate on the Arab-Israeli peace process. Early in AET's development, its founders established the AET Book Club to meet the recognized need for quality books about the region and U.S. policies there. n 2005, AET assumed responsibility for a large portion of a Palestinian Trade project, and these products were officially incorporated into the organization as the Palestinian Arts & Crafts Trust (PACT). Both the AET Book Club and PACT are advertised in and supported by AET's primary project, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, a magazine published nine times per year in Washington, DC.
