AGE OF CONFLICT; EPILOGUE; INDEX 330 $aIn Blood Year, David Kilcullen provides a wide-angle view of the current situation in the Middle East and analyzes how America and the West ended up in such dire circumstances. Focusing on the events of 2014--a year of massacres and beheadings, fallen cities and collapsing states--as a potential turning point in modern world history, this is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding not only why the region that the U.S. invaded a dozen years ago has collapsed into utter chaos, but also what it can do to alleviate the grim situation. 606 $aTerrorism 607 $aIslamic countries$xPolitics and government$y21st century 607 $aMiddle East$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 607 $aIslamic countries$2fast 607 $aMiddle East$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aTerrorism. 676 $a363.325 700 $aKilcullen$b David$01163907 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812489003321 996 $aBlood year$94021683 997 $aUNINA
