"To understand what's really happening in Iraq, most of us could switch off the news and read Ignorant Armies instead."
—Vancouver Sun

Product Description
As Iraq descends ever closer to civil war, no one doubts that George W. Bush's Iraq strategy has been an abysmal failure -- just as Gwynne Dyer argued it would be in both Ignorant Armies and Future: Tense. The question now is what will happen not just in Iraq but in the whole Middle East region once American troops are withdrawn. In The Mess They Made, Dyer predicts that the Middle East will go through the biggest shake up since the region was conquered and folded into the Ottoman Empire five centuries ago.
In his trademark vivid prose, and in arguments as clear as his research is thorough, Dyer brings his considerable knowledge and understanding of the region to bear on the issue of how widespread the meltdown in the Middle East will likely be. In five chapters, Dyer points the way from present policies and events to likely future developments in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and in the various other countries of the region, not least of which is nuclear-armed Israel.

Great insights,

This review is from: The Mess They Made (Revised Edition): The Middle East After Iraq (Paperback)
This book is a wholesale revision of the first edition, with up to date political analysis of Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Dyer does such a good job of explaining the connections between political and military issues, and cuts through many of the myths perpetuated by the US and western media about the region. It's like reading the clear and common sense analysis that you hope and pray world leaders get from their advisers.
