المستخلص
|
Rashid Khalidi's powerful new book examines the record of Western involvement in the Middle East and analyzes the likely outcomes of the USA's most recent incursions in the region. Begun as the United States and Britain moved their forces into Iraq, and fully up-to-date to cover the shocking revelations of abuse of Iraqi prisoners and the debate over intelligence failures and the war's legitimacy, Khalidi paints a chilling scenario of the present situation. America's path of conflict, occupation and colonial rule, which has exacerbated the instability in the Middle East is an object reminder that a policy based on flawed intelligence and a determined, inflexible world view carries the seeds of failure.
