America's War for the Greater Middle East: A Military History

The War for the Greater Middle East by Andrew J.

Bacevich is a groundbreaking book that provides a searing reassessment of U.S.

military policy in the region over the past four decades.

This comprehensive and critical history offers a new perspective on the ongoing conflict, highlighting the shift from occasional and sporadic fighting during the Cold War to a seemingly endless series of campaigns across the Islamic world.

With a focus on connecting the dots in a way no other historian has done before, Bacevich weaves a compelling narrative out of episodes as varied as the Beirut bombing of 1983, the Mogadishu firefight of 1993, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the rise of ISIS.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its impact on U.S.

foreign policy.
