About This Book

An examination of United States regime change efforts in the Middle East from 1953 to the present. The book analyzes the consistent failure of these interventions to achieve their objectives and the significant human and financial costs incurred. It argues for a policy shift toward diplomacy and containment rather than forced government overthrows.
