For more than a century successive US and UK governments have
sought to thwart nationalist, socialist and pro-democracy movements
in the Middle East. Through the Cold War, the `War on Terror' and
the present era defined by the Islamic State, the Western powers
have repeatedly manipulated the region's most powerful actors to
ensure the security of their own interests and, in doing so, have
given rise to religious politics, sectarian war, bloody
counter-revolutions and now one of the most brutal incarnations of
Islamic extremism ever seen. This is the utterly compelling,
systematic dissection of Western interference in the Middle East.
Christopher Davidson exposes the dark side of our foreign policy -
dragging many disturbing facts out into the light for the first
time. Most shocking for us today is his assertion that US
intelligence agencies continue to regard the Islamic State, like
al-Qaeda before it, as a strategic but volatile asset to be wielded
against their enemies. Provocative, alarming and unrelenting,
Shadow Wars demands to be read - now.
