What is War and peace in the Middle East : a critique of American policy about?
The Recent Israel-plo Accord Is Only The Most Recent Surprise In A Region Whose Politics Often Seem Complex To The Point Of Mysteriousness. How Can Americans Decipher The Latest Diplomatic Tilt, Rumor Of War, Or Threat To Oil Supplies? Where Will The Middle East's Centuries-old Quest For Self-determination Lead? An Oxford Professor Of International Relations Finds Answers In A Historical Context That Is Often Overlooked. With A Special Focus On The Last Half-century, He Illuminates The Four Phases Of External Involvement - The Ottoman, The European, The Superpower, And The American - That Have Molded The Political Evolution Of The Middle East. He Assesses The Past Roles Of Britain, France, And The Former Soviet Union, Clarifies How Power And Influence Have Shifted In The Aftermath Of The Cold War, And Appraises Both The Recurrent Myopia Of The United States And Its Essential Function As A Mediator. The Post-ottoman Syndrome -- Succeeding John Bull -- America Between Arabs And Israelis -- Realpolitik In The Gulf -- Tilting Toward Iraq -- Desert Shield And Desert Storm -- Madrid And After -- Pax Americana.
