商品簡介
Felton (a freelance reporter and former foreign affairs editor for National Public Radio) collects political speeches, diplomatic agreements, United Nations resolutions, and other texts illustrating important developments in the Middle East from World War I to the present. The selection of topics appears to be shaped primarily by US foreign policy concerns and perspectives and thus offers extensive treatment of the Israeli-Arab conflict and peace conferences and Israeli-Palestinian issues, as well as chapters on Lebanon and Syria, Iran, Iraq and the Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, and Turkey. Felton provides contextual introductions to each document or set of documents and also includes a comprehensive chronology and a bibliography.
