Boomerang!: How Our Covert Wars Have Created Enemies Across the Middle East and Bring Terror to America

by Mark Zepezauer

Overview

From Afghanistan to Turkey, from the Caspian Sea to the Sudan, the U.S. has ripped through one country after another in the Middle East and elsewhere, manipulating and marauding for its own benefit. This is a history with which Arabs and Muslims are painfully familiar, but which Americans can no longer afford to ignore.
