Description

Robert G. Lawrence (au). Over-reliance upon military action as the predominant instrument of U.S. foreign policy in Southwest Asia is the danger against which this essay warns. The author is less troubled by questions of U.S. military strength than by policymakers’ insensitivity to the historical, religious, & regional dynamics of Southwest Asia. Col. Lawrence directly addresses tough questions, such as U.S. support of Israel, widely inconsistent policies for foreign military sales, U.S. failure in Iran, & U.S. inaction during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. A frank & somewhat controversial plea for an intelligent appraisal of U.S. policy in this region.
