A Brutal Friendship by Said K Aburish
Describes and explains how current events in the Middle East represent a backlash against decades of collusion and conspiracy. It links the present turmoil to the way in which the ruling establishment has consistently subordinated the welfare of the average Arab and to its conspiratorial alliance with the West. It argues that the West, and the CIA in particular, sponsored and to some extent helped create Islamic fundamentalism in the 1950s and 1960s in order to stop Nasser and thwart the USSR's designs on the region, and exposes how British and American government have supported the Arab elite while turning a blind eye to their repressive domestic regimes.| SKU | Unavailable |
