RUBIN, BARRY Cauldron of turmoil. America in the Middle East.
New York Harcourt Brace Jovanovich 1992 0151161283 / 9780151161287 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
306 pages, cloth, dj, very good. From the publisher: In August 1990, America suddenly found itself involved in what would soon become its greatest crisis since the Vietnam War. The configuration could not have been more unexpected. With the Cold War at an end and history on the brink of a promising new beginning, a shooting war had never seemed more unlikely. Cameras showed the world what was happening, but the wash of images did little to explain the intricacies of the conflict. Barry Rubin, a leading expert in the field, challenges America's myth-ridden views of the Middle East - our false assumption that disputes arise because of a lack of communication; our errant belief that the Arab-Israeli conflict is at the center of all problems in the region. Rubin argues that the Persian Gulf has become for the United States what Central Europe was during 45 years of Cold War - the focus of foreign policy and military strategy - and our commitments there are likely to last as long. Cauldron of Turmoil discusses not only the origins and course of the current crisis, but its background and repercussions as well: from the oil price boom of the mid-1970s to Iran's 1978-79 revolution; from the American diplomats held hostage between 1979 and 1981 to the eight-year, million-casualty Iran-Iraq war, which gradually drew the U.S. in as 'co-belligerent.'
