Donald M. Snow

The Middle East, Oil, and the U.S. National Security Policy

Intractable Conflicts, Impossible Solutions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The text focuses on three interrelated subject areas that are at the heart of the current foreign and national security dilemma: the Middle East, energy policy, and military manpower policy. Remedying these obvious cases of policy dysfunction would create opportunities for less confrontational, adversary-driven foreign and defense posture.
