Full Spectrum Dominance Publisher Comments: At few times in recent history have we seen a war so insistently and openly signaled as the U.S.'s looming war on Iraq. According to Rahul Mahajan, the coming war is a culmination of a process that the United States started with the Gulf War, where Iraq was made into a permanent target and pariah state. Mahajan argues that the Bush administration's post-September 11 policy toward Iraq is neither about controlling weapons of mass destruction nor fighting terrorism, but about consolidating U.S. control of oil reserves and dominance in the Middle East. Despite the prospects that attacking Iraq could quickly escalate into wider regional war and lead to further terrorist attacks, the Bush administration insists that violence is our only option. Mahajan cuts through the comic-book language of President Bush's "Axis of Evil" rationale, and presents a much-needed examination of the myths, facts, and history behind the U.S.'s pitch to start another war. Synopsis: In this much-needed examination of the myths, facts, and history behind the U.S.'s pitch to start yet another war, Mahajan persuasively argues that the Bush administration seeks to gain control of Iraq's rich oil reserves and to assume dominance in the Middle East. Synopsis: An analysis of United States foreign policy and strategies argues that continued United States military occupation in Iraq is an act of political dominance and not conducive to democracy or independence. Synopsis: Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-207). --------------------- |
