 Rashid
Khalidi’s powerful book examines the record of Western
involvement in the Middle East and analyzes the likely
outcome of our most recent incursions into the area. Drawing
on his encyclopedic knowledge of the political and cultural
history of the entire region, Khalidi paints a chilling
scenario of our present situation and yet offers a tangible
alternative that can help us find the path to peace rather
than Empire. Additionally, Professor Khalidi contributes a
new introduction to this paperback edition, covering recent
developments in Iraq and the aftermath of the U.S.
presidential election.
