Power, Belief, and Illusion: America in the Middle East (1776 to the Present) (history School)
About This Novel
Describes the relationship between the United States and the Middle East over more than 200 years; analyzes why the Middle East has such a huge and far-reaching impact on U. S. Strategy and foreign policy. Why and how is the United States so entangled in the Middle East? Why does the Middle East, which is geographically far away from the United States, have such a huge and far-reaching impact on U. S. Strategy and foreign policy? Historian and former Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael B. Oren used three words: "power", "belief" and "fantasy" to explain this costly persistence, and also talked about the relationship between the United States and the Middle East since its independence in 1776. The author draws on a large number of government documents, private letters, and the memoirs of businessmen, missionaries, and travelers, supplemented by dozens of rare historical images, to vividly detail the United States's interaction with this dynamic and turbulent region for more than 200 years.
