Cauldron of Turmoil : America in the Middle East
Rubin, Barry
000988 Hard Cover. Brand-New/Brand-New book jacket. First Edition. 6 x 9". ISBN:0151161283. In August 1990, American suddenly found itself involved in what would soon become its greatest crisis since the Vietnam War. the c onfrontation 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 USA 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. This 306 page book discusses not only the origins, & 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 8 year, million-casualty Iran-Iraq war, which gradually drew the U.S. in as 'co-belligerent." The Middle East continues to take cernter stage in world events, and although these events are played out half a world away, the Gulf War has shown that they do indeed IMPACT the course of OUR daily lives! It is important to understand not only the complex history of the Middle East, but the history of America's involvement in the region as well. Brodart protective dust cover included on book.

Revolution Until Victory : The Politics and History of the PLO
Rubin, Barry;Rubin, Barry M.
1994 02867855 Hard Cover. As New/As New book jacket, . 6 x 9". "Yasser Arafat unintentionally revealed the essence of the PLO's relations with the Arab states when he said in 1973 that he PLO would fight on like the Spartan troops at the ancient battle of Thermopylae, who defended Greece 'until at last the rest of the Greek forces arrived." The Arab-Israel conflict was no typical international dispute over land or power, easilly settled by compromise or some ingenious formula. Arafat bragged about the PLO's precarious circumstances as if this were a virtue: 'We are the flying carpet revolution, we are treading on burning coals. Tonight I am seeing you in Baghdad. I don't know where I will see you tomorrow." -- ..Aythor Barry Rubin takes us into the politics and policies behind the PLO's seemingly endless cycle of nearing triumph, then crashing; weathering melodramatic reversales of fortune, only to achieve a modium of success. He shows us Arafat, the central actor in the drama, employing whatever thetoric and terrorist strategies he deemed necessary -- and at whatever cost to his standing with the West -- to keep a wide assortment of Palestinans united, and the PLO independent from Arab states.
