Over the last sixty years, Washington has been a major player in
the politics of the Middle East. From Iran in the 1950s, to the
Gulf War of 1991, to the devastation of contemporary Iraq, US
policy has had a profound impact on the domestic affairs of the
region. Anti-Americanism is a pervasive feature of modern Middle
East public opinion. But far from being intrinsic to 'Muslim
political culture', scepticism of the US agenda is directly linked
to the regional policies pursued by Washington. By exploring
critical points of regional crisis, Kylie Baxter and Shahram
Akbarzadeh elaborate on the links between US policy and popular
distrust of the United States. The book also examines the
interconnected nature of events in this geo-strategically vital
region. Accessible and easy to follow, it is designed to provide a
clear and concise overview of complex historical and political
material. Key features include: maps illustrating key events and
areas of discontent text boxes on topics of interest related to the
Arab/Israeli Wars, Iranian politics, foreign interventions in
Afghanistan and Iraq, the wars of the Persian Gulf, September 11
and the rise of Islamist movements further reading lists and a
selection of suggested study questions at the end of each chapter.
