AMERICA’S MIDDLE EAST: THE RUINATION OF A REGION
Book ID/图书代码： 03084026C00003
English Summary/英文概要： From the Gulf War to Gaza, a compelling critique of how and why Washington ensnared itself so destructively in the Middle East.After Hamas’ shocking 2023 attack on Israel, the United States stood firmly behind Israel’s near-genocidal war on Gaza, despite widespread moral outrage and significant damage to Washington’s global agenda. But Gaza is only the latest paradox in thirty-five years of Middle East policy. How did this pattern develop, why can’t policymakers learn from repeated Middle Eastern calamities, and what does Gaza’s destruction mean for America’s place in the world?
Marc Lynch charts the United States’ disastrously failed approach to the post-Cold War Middle East, where aspirations for US leadership and a calm region have only produced war, instability and humanitarian catastrophe. Lynch exposes the failure of each president’s efforts to transform the Middle East in America’s image, or pivot away from the region; Washington’s refusal to take seriously the views of Middle Easterners; and its fantasy of forging a regional order ’without’ the Palestinian issue.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从海湾战争到加沙冲突，这部作品深刻剖析了美国政府如何以及为何在中东陷入如此灾难性的泥潭。2023年哈马斯对以色列发动震惊世界的袭击后，美国仍坚定支持以色列在加沙地带近乎种族灭绝的战争，尽管此举引发全球道德谴责，严重损害了华盛顿的国际议程。但加沙事件不过是美国中东政策三十五年来最新的一次悖论。这种模式如何形成?为何决策者无法从中东频发的灾难中吸取教训? 加沙的毁灭对美国在世界格局中的地位意味着什么? 马克·林奇剖析了美国在后冷战时代中东政策的灾难性失败——那些渴望美国领导力与地区稳定的愿景，最终只换来战争、动荡和人道主义灾难。林奇揭露了历任总统试图将中东改造为美国形象的失败，或是刻意疏离该地区的行径；华盛顿拒绝认真对待中东民众诉求的顽固态度；以及其幻想在“不涉及”巴勒斯坦问题的情况下构建地区秩序的空想。(Sandy)
