Sowing Crisis: The Cold War and American Dominance in the Middle East

Acclaimed historian and political commentator Rashid Khalidi presents the compelling case that U.S. and Soviet intervention in the Middle East not only exacerbated civil wars and provoked the breakdown of fragile democracies, but continues to this day to shape global conflict in the region. Examining the strategic interplay of cold war superpowers, Khalidi explains how the momentous events that have occurred over the last two decadesâ€”including two Gulf wars, the occupation of Iraq, and the rise of terrorismâ€”can only be understood in light of this chilling legacy.
