Produktinformationen zu „Straight Power Concepts in the Middle East: US Foreign Policy, Israel and World History “

As in his incredibly successful book "The Palestine-Israel Conflict," Harms is not afraid to take readers right back to the source of the issues. He traces the emergence of nation-states, analyzes US foreign relations since 1776 and then applies this to America's actions in the Middle East and its "special relationship" with Israel. The historical context provided, especially related to the peace process, clarifies recent developments involving the Obama administration.

This book should be the first port of call for undergraduates in Middle East IR and anyone seeking a deeper analysis than can be found in the mainstream media.

Rezension zu „Straight Power Concepts in the Middle East: US Foreign Policy, Israel and World History “

Gregory Harms has written such a clear-headed book on empire, because it describes fluently why the responsibility for dealing with rapacious power cannot simply be blamed on history but rests with us right now. -- John Pilger This book offers lucid insights to readers seeking to understand why America's approach to the Middle East has produced such terrible results. Sharp, persuasive, and based on a clear reading of history, it helps us re-imagine the world's most volatile region. -- Stephen Kinzer, author of Overthrow
