The author asserts that such credibility had been severely undermined by Reagan's earlier decision to enhance the strategic alliance between the U.S. and Israel, and that the 1986 bombing specifically targeted Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi as one of the foremost Middle Eastern threats to American security. Finally, the author asserts that the Libyan bombings served as a significant foreshadowing of the current Iraq War and as a powerful illustration of the United States' historical willingness to use military power in order to preserve American economic and strategic interests in the Middle East.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Weight: 329gAuthor: Nicholas LahamGenre: Law & PoliticsISBN-10: 0786431857Item Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 12mmRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
