商品簡介
Tripathi, a British historian and journalist, examines the dynamics of imperialism in the Middle East during the modern era. He focuses on humiliation as a tactic of inducing subservience that also has the tendency to provoke more radical reactions by the humiliated. He is critical of US interventions in the region, including the Obama administration up-holding the Afghan War while calling the Iraq War "the wrong war," as well as what he calls the betrayal of the Palestinians. It is in part a book about the American decline and its approach to securing oil and power. An imprint of University of Nebraska Press. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
