Future Iraq: US Policy in Reshaping the Middle East

Future Iraq: US Policy in Reshaping the Middle East

by G . L . Simons (Author)

Synopsis

Simons addresses these questions, considering the roles played by the disparate power bases in this rapidly changing situation, both in a socially crippled Iraq (Kurds, Shi'is and others) and in some of the key states in the region (including Turkey, Iran, Syria and Israel/Palestine). How will they respond to a Pax Americana? What Islamist reactions might the new US presence engender? How does oil factor into the equation? What can the United Nations now hope to achieve? And what is the significance of America's expanding global hegemony? Simons brings to bear impeccable research and a comprehensive understanding of the historical and modern factors underlying the situation in the Middle East.

Media Reviews
'Wonderful work ... I'm amazed to see what Simons has been accomplishing and look forward to more.' Noam Chomsky 'As it becomes clear that the American invasion of Iraq, far from ending the problems in the Middle East, may well have made them far worse, the best book to read is this one ... Geoff Simons covers every aspect of the situation, writes with great academic integrity and is immensely readable.' Rt Hon Tony Benn 'Books by Simons can be bought with confidence.' The Times
