520			_aThe American relationship with the Middle East over the past three decades has been full of drama and conflict. The war in Iraq, the standoff with Iran, the regular failures to find a diplomatic solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the challenge posed by al Qaeda all testify to the importance of the region to the United States. In this wise, objective and illuminating history, award-winning scholar Lawrence Freedman provides an essential guide to the origins of America's current predicament in the Middle East, and casts light on how relations might evolve in the future.
