The Fateful Triangle Author:Noam Chomsky This work untangles the intricacies of the US-Israeli-Palestinian relationship. Sixteen years after its first publication, Chomsky has revised and updated this corrosive study, hailed as a defining work on modern US foreign policy in the Middle East, to cover the significant developments of the 1980s and 1990s. Examining America's search for a "... more »reliable ally" in the Middle East and beyond, in a determined effort to ensure American control of oil in the Arabian peninsula, Chomsky lays bare the contortions, lies and misinformation that have been used over the years to obscure the real agenda. In the process he reveals the extent to which modern nation-states make claims for peace while actively pursuing very different objectives. This updated edition aims to provide a corrective to the mythmaking that has obscured the real history of "peace" negotiations in the Middle East.« less
