Perilous Power: The Middle East and U.S. Foreign Policy: Dialogues on Terror, Democracy, War, and Justice

Sharp dialogue on power, war, and justice

If you want to make sense of the Middle East beyond headlines and talking points, this is a thoughtful place to start. The dialogue format makes big, difficult issues feel alive and approachable, while still giving you serious political depth. Readers who like being challenged by strong, critical perspectives on U.S. power and regional conflict will find it especially rewarding.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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 direct U.S. intervention. Two of the most astute analysts of this region are Noam Chomsky, the preeminent critic of U.S. foreign policy, and Gilbert Achcar, a leading specialist of the Middle East who has lived in the region for many years. In their new book, Chomsky and Achcar offer a keen analysis of the internal dynamics of the Middle East and the role of the United States, addressing key questions of interest to concerned citizens, including topics such as terrorism, fundamentalism, conspiracies, oil, democracy, self-determination, anti-Semitism, and anti-Arab racism, as well as the wars in Afghanistan, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the sources of U.S. foreign policy. This book provides an accessible introduction for readers who wish to understand the complex issues related to the Middle East from a perspective dedicated to peace and justice. It is not an interview book, but a carefully planned and orchestrated dialogue between two experts, skillfully edited by Stephen R. Shalom, professor at William Paterson University.
