Alex Berenson is a reporter for the New York Times and is the author of the new novel "The Secret Soldier".
Berenson's new book is fiction but the subject is one that has become a familiar reality to the world in the last few weeks: uprisings in the Middle East. The novel focuses on a leader in the Middle East who is starting to lose the support of his people. Berenson talks to American Morning's Kiran Chetry about his new novel and the current uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa.
