The Closing Window by Gregg Roman<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Middle East Forum Press is pleased to announce the release of The Closing Window<\/strong> by Gregg Roman<\/strong>, a literary espionage thriller that explores the cost of war, the machinery of power, and the human lives trapped inside political decisions made far from the battlefield.<\/p>\n

A thirty-nine-day war between the United States and Iran ends the way modern wars often do: not in surrender, but in a memorandum. The guns go silent. The money is promised. The world exhales. But buried within the language of peace are nineteen words that quietly abandon the people who believed the bombing meant deliverance.<\/p>\n

As a sixty-day clock begins counting down to the vote that will make the ceasefire permanent, a small Washington policy institute crosses the line from analysis into action, turning its tools against its own government’s settlement. Inside Iran, an air-defense colonel, a labor organizer, and a nurse each face impossible choices as the consequences of diplomacy, intelligence, and resistance close in around them. Their lives converge around a question no government can answer for them: What is owed to the people you cannot save?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part political thriller and part moral reckoning, The Closing Window<\/strong> examines what happens when strategy leaves the conference room and lands on the shoulders of ordinary people. Roman’s debut novel combines espionage, statecraft, and political consequence with a deeply human look at what power demands from those living on the far side of policy. It is a novel about responsibility, intervention, and the narrowing distance between describing catastrophe and becoming part of it.<\/p>\n

Gregg Roman is a Middle East policy and security analyst who has spent more than a decade at the center of American debates over Iran, counterterrorism, and the politics of the region. He serves as Executive Director of the Middle East Forum<\/a>, has testified before Congress, and writes and comments widely on national security and foreign policy. He divides his time between the United States and Israel. The Closing Window<\/em> is his first novel.<\/p>\n
