1. America's War For The Greater Middle East
A Military History
A sweeping critique of U.S. intervention across the greater Middle East since the late 1970s, tracing campaigns from the Gulf and Balkans to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, and arguing that reliance on military force—driven by oil politics, inflated threats, and bipartisan hubris—has failed to achieve lasting security or stability. Through a chronological account of misjudgments, mission creep, and blowback, it shows how these wars expanded violence, imposed heavy human and financial costs, and eroded credibility, ultimately urging strategic restraint and a redefinition of national interests.
