Little analyzes America's confrontation with Islamic extremism through the traditional ideological framework of "us versus them" that has historically pitted the United States against Native Americans, Mexicans, Asian immigrants, Nazis, and the Soviets. The collapse of the Soviet Union seemed to signal that the doctrine of containment had served U.S. interests in the Middle East well, preserving Western access to Persian Gulf oil while protecting Israel and preventing communist subversion. Yet, although many Americans hoped that the end of the Cold War would enable the United States to redefine its diplomatic relationships in the Middle East and elsewhere, Little demonstrates that from Operation Desert Storm in 1991 to America's battle against ISIS today, U.S. foreign policy has been governed by "us versus them" thinking, with Islamophobia supplanting the threats of yesteryear. 606 $aCold War 606 $aIslamophobia$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$xRelations$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCold War. 615 0$aIslamophobia 676 $a327.73056 700 $aLittle$b Douglas$f1950-$01035951 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466126603321 996 $aUs versus them$92455942 997 $aUNINA
