Pluto Press20081 online resource (192 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-7453-2754-0 0-7453-2755-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Journalist Jonathan Cook explores Israel's key role in persuading the Bush administration to invade Iraq, as part of a plan to remake the Middle East, and their joint determination to isolate Iran and prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons that might rival Israel's own. This concise and clearly argued book makes the case that Israel's desire to be the sole regional power in the Middle East neatly chimed with Bush's objectives in the "war on terror". Examining a host of related issues, from the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to the role of Big Oil and the demonisation of the Arab world, Cook argues that the current chaos in the Middle East is the objective of the Bush administration - a policy that is equally beneficial to Israel.Iraq War, 2003-2011Middle EastForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsMiddle EastUnited StatesForeign relationsIsraelIsraelForeign relationsUnited StatesIsraelForeign relationsArab countriesArab countriesForeign relationsIsraelMiddle EastPolitics and government1979-IsraelPolitics and government1993-IraqPolitics and government2003-IranPolitics and government1997-Iraq War, 2003-2011.327.56073Cook Jonathan1965-1512561MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782654103321Israel and the clash of civilisations3857757UNINA
