Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Oil, Sand, and PowerI started writing this book because I kept noticing the same pattern show up again and again in American policy toward the Middle East. A decision gets made that seems smart at the time, usually for oil, security, or some short-term political win, and a decade or two la…ter it blows up in a way nobody planned for. The 1953 coup in Iran is the clearest example. The US helped remove Iran's prime minister to protect oil interests, and twenty six years later that same country became one of America's biggest adversaries. I wanted to trace where that pattern came from and how far back it goes.This book covers about two hundred years, starting with the first American missionaries in Ottoman territory in the 1820s and going up through the Abraham Accords in 2020. Along the way I get into the 1938 oil discovery in Saudi Arabia and the alliance that came out of it, the covert operations during the Cold War, the 1967 and 1973 wars and how they reshaped the region, the Iranian Revolution, both Iraq wars, 9/11 and the War on Terror, and the ongoing rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran.I'm seventeen and I'm not going to pretend I have some special insight that historians don't. What I did do is spend a lot of time with declassified documents, memoirs, and primary sources, and tried to write something that connects all these events into one continuous story instead of treating them as separate chapters of history. Growing up in this part of the world, I've also seen how these decisions from decades ago still shape daily life and politics here, and I wanted that perspective in the book.If you've read Karen Armstrong, Thomas Friedman, or Bernard Lewis and you're interested in how we got from 1953 to where we are now, I think you'll find something useful here.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A sweeping chronicle of America's century-long entanglement in the Middle East-and why it matters more than ever.From the first American missionaries who arrived in Ottoman lands in the 1820s to the Abraham Accords that reshaped regional alliances in 2020, Oil, Sand and Power tells the comp…lete story of how the United States became the Middle East's dominant outside power-and the devastating costs of that dominance.Written by 17-year-old scholar Muhammad Saad Nizami, this comprehensive history reveals the patterns of miscalculation, unintended consequences, and short-term thinking that have defined American policy across Republican and Democratic administrations alike. From the CIA's 1953 coup in Iran to the 2003 Iraq invasion, from the Iranian hostage crisis to the rise of ISIS, Nizami demonstrates how well-intentioned policies repeatedly produced the opposite of their intended results.What you'll discover: How ARAMCO's oil discovery in Saudi Arabia in 1938 changed everythingThe secret deals and covert operations that shaped the Cold WarWhy the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War redefined regional powerHow the Iranian Revolution created America's most enduring enemyThe real story behind the Iraq Wars and their catastrophic aftermathHow 9/11 launched the "War on Terror" that continues todayThe proxy conflicts between Iran and Saudi Arabia that have consumed the regionDrawing on declassified documents, insider memoirs, and extensive research, Oil, Sand and Power combines rigorous scholarship with compelling storytelling. Nizami brings fresh perspective as a young voice from a region that has experienced both the benefits and costs of great power involvement.This isn't just history-it's essential reading for understanding today's headlines and tomorrow's challenges. As America reconsiders its global role and the Middle East faces an uncertain future, the lessons from a century of entanglement have never been more relevant.Perfect for readers of Karen Armstrong, Thomas Friedman, and Bernard Lewis.
