Description


Explores shifting American interests and policies in the Middle East - conceived as a broad and diverse region from Algeria to Afghanistan - from the early republic's conflict with 'Barbary' states to the clash with 'Rogue' states after 9/11. The emphasis is on the post-World War II era and major crises such as, among many others, the Arab-Israeli conflict.
