This unique dualism of a Middle Eastern childhood, and an American identity, is something Dr Rogan strives to incorporate in his writing. Yet it is his perspective on Arab history that serves most to surprise.
Djibouti is home to a large French military base. It is also home to an expanding multi-agency US base, 'Camp Lemonnier', about to undergo its next phase of development in the wake of events in Iran, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.
There was no Arab Spring - nor is there necessarily an Islamist Winter. Ongoing events in Syria, and recently across the Middle East, are the last in a long historic process of protest, opposition and revolution. But the outcome will not be democracy as we know it in the West.
