With verve and authority, he offers piercing analysis of the region's iconic events over the past one hundred years-from the birth of Israel to the rise of Al Qaeda. Throughout, he draws telling parallels between America's past mistakes and its current dilemmas, proving that we're in today's muddle not just because of our old errors but because we keep repeating those errors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Wawro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143118838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143118831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.56w x 1.54d","brand":"Geoffrey Wawro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075963121919,"sku":"9780143118831","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0d7c6eb-5866-49dc-8c7d-4f7533c329ab.jpg?v=1685462423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quicksand-geoffrey-wawro-9780143118831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
