War and Peace in the Middle East: A Concise History (Revised & updated ed.) |
| Avi Shlaim |
| Penguin Books, 1995, paperback, 151 pp. |
| A brief but suggestive overview of the US role in the Middle East. Shlaim holds that American policy has repeated British mistakes, by viewing the region through "the distorting prism of the Cold War." Focuses on the period since 1919 and on the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Iran-Iraq war and the Persian Gulf war. An excellent primer for understanding the politics of the region. |
