Ex-CIA operative Robert Baer, whose previous books were the inspiration behind Academy Award-nominated film Syriana, is one of the world’s leading experts on the conflicts in the Middle East, and while the issue isn’t as big as it’s been in the past, it is still very much present in this election. Baer’s newest book, The Devil We Know: Dealing with the New Iranian Superpower, debuts soon, marking the beginning of a huge publicity tour including the following:

CNN American Morning (Sept. 30)
