An Alliance Against Babylon : The US, Israel and Iraq
An Alliance Against Babylon The US Israel and Iraq Author:John K. Cooley 'This book is typically Cooley: much needed and brilliant.' John Pilger / 'The Iraq war is unintelligible without the history John Cooley's brave new book provides.' Brady Kiesling, former US Diplomat / John Cooley, a former correspondent for ABC News and the Christian Science Monitor, argues that America's new invasion and occupation of Iraq ma... more »rks a turning point in the West's relationship with the Arab world, and alters the balance of power within the Middle East. He argues that the crucial factor in this new development is the relationship between Israel and the United States. Examining today's problems from this unique perspective, Cooley covers a broad sweep of history, from biblical Babylonian times until now. He shows how US and Israeli interests in the Middle East were contradictory at first. He explains how and why the US-Israel alliance gradually evolved. Drawing from unpublished sources, as well as from John Cooley's personal encounters with principal! players such as David ben-Gurion, the Shah of Iran, Anwar al-Sadat, King Hussein of Jordan and Saddam Hussein himself, this book gives a uniquely valuable perspective on the complex history of Iraq and why it continues to be at the heart of world affairs.« less
