Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush told advisor Karl Rove, I am here for a reason, and this is how we're going to be judged. Anderson provides this judgment in this sweeping, authoritative account of Bush's War on Terror and his twin interventions. He begins with historical surveys of Iraq and Afghanistan known respectively as the improbable country and the graveyard of empires, and he examines U.S. policies toward those and other nations in the Middle East from the 1970s to 2000.
