Title: This is how we got to where we are
Review: This book describes the experiences of Britain and France in the Middle East during and after WWI. It does much to explain why "Old Europe" and the US are regarded with so much suspicion in the Middle East. It should make us aware of the dangers of colonialism and exploitation in the Middle East. It points out that the costs of maintaining a colonial regime far outweigh the benefits.I would suggest reading this book along with Noam Chomsky's "Hegemony or Survival." The two books make it clear that we are on a disastrous course in the Middle East and in much of the rest of the world.
