A HISTORY OF US AND MIDDLE EAST RELATIONS
FILIU, JEAN-PIERRE / B., DAVID
It was an American who first described the Barbary lands of the Mediterranean basin as "the Middle East" a region by which America, ever since its own revolutionary foundation, has always measured its power. Acclaimed historian Jean-Pierre Filiu and award-winning artist David B. here tells the story of the blockades, broadsides, and betrayals of this foreign affair a wary co-dependency that, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the Eisenhower era, and from gold to oil, has continued to define our modern world.
