Rashid Khalidi

Rashid Khalidi’s powerful book examines the record of
Western involvement in the Middle East and analyzes the
likely outcome of our most recent incursions into the area.
Drawing on his encyclopedic knowledge of the political and
cultural history of the entire region, Khalidi paints a
chilling scenario of our present situation and yet offers a
tangible alternative that can help us find the path to peace
rather than Empire. Additionally, Professor Khalidi
contributes a new introduction to this paperback edition,
covering recent developments in Iraq and the aftermath of
the U.S. presidential election.
