Sowing Crisis: The Cold War and American Dominance in the Middle East

The Middle East Cold War by Rashid Khalidi is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the little-known history of how U.S.

and Soviet intervention in the region has contributed to the current conflicts.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the strategic interplay between cold war superpowers, highlighting how their policies and priorities have led to the ongoing instability in the Middle East.

With a focus on the momentous events of the last two decades, including two Gulf wars, the occupation of Iraq, and the rise of terrorism, Khalidi argues that these conflicts can only be understood in light of this chilling legacy.

This book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the stability of the Middle East and the ongoing impact of cold war policies on global conflict.
