In the third volume of their graphic history of US and Middle East
relations, Jean-Pierre Filiu and David B. cover the tumultuous
period that began with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and ended
with Obama's decision, in 2013, not to intervene in Syria. Taking
in the First Gulf War, the rise of al-Qaeda, the military response
to the September 11 attacks and the present conflict in Syria, Best
of Enemies: Part Three is propelled by a clash between four US
presidents and their Middle Eastern antagonists: on the one hand,
George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama;
on the other, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and Bashar al-Assad.
Covering thirty years of conflict and diplomacy, Best of Enemies:
Part Three is a breezy and engaging guide to the events that shaped
our current politics, from the rise of populism and the so-called
Islamic State to the global refugee crisis. |In the third volume of
