The Middle East and the United States: History, Politics, and Ideologies - Tapa blanda

"This book is indispensible for scholars and policymakers interested in understanding America's past and current involvement in the Middle East. The essays are authoritative, compelling, and engaging. Collectively, they represent some of the smartest analysis on how the United States and the Middle East got where they are today." --Toby C. Jones, Rutgers University "An indispensible resource for understanding contemporary US policies in the region....This volume remains an authoritative resource for practitioners and academics, for students in courses in US foreign policy or Middle Eastern history, and for the general reading public. Highly recommended." -Choice Reviews from the prior edition: "This book, the best single work dealing with the relationship between the United States and the Middle East, has been updated to include new chapters on Turkey and Afghanistan, and new material that addresses important aspects of this fraught relationship, notably the Arab-Israeli conflict and the successive crises in the Gulf. With these additions, it remains a timely and useful work." -Rashid Khalidi, Director, Center for International Studies, University of Chicago
