"This inquiry into the probable shape of things to come is sober,
uncompromising, deeply informed, and full of provocative insights
and judicious analyses." Noam Chomsky "The most forceful, most
rigorous text that there is to read on this war." Le Monde
Diplomatique The volatile Middle East is the site of vast
resources, profound passions, frequent crises, and long-standing
conflicts, as well as a major source of international tensions and
a key site of direct U.S. intervention. Two of the most astute
analysts of this part of the world are Noam Chomsky, the preeminent
critic of U.S. foreign policy, and Gilbert Achcar, a leading
specialist of the Middle East who lived in that region for many
years. In their new book, Chomsky and Achcar bring a keen
understanding of the internal dynamics of the Middle East and of
the role of the United States, taking up all the key questions of
interest to concerned citizens, including such topics as terrorism,
fundamentalism, conspiracies, oil, democracy, self-determination,
anti-Semitism, and anti-Arab racism, as well as the war in
Afghanistan, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the sources of U.S. foreign
policy. This book provides the best readable introduction for all
who wish to understand the complex issues related to the Middle
East from a perspective dedicated to peace and justice.
