WAR IN THE AGE OF TRUMP - PATRICK COCKBURN GEBU...

In this urgent and timely book  Patrick Cockburn writes the first draft of the history of the
current crisis in the Middle East.Here he charts the period from the recapture of Mosul in 2017
to Turkey's attack on Kurdish territory in November 2019  and recounts the new phase in the
wars of disintegration that have plagued the region  leading to the assassination of Iranian
General Sulemani.Cockburn offers panoramic on-the-ground analysis as well as a lifetime's study
of the region. As author of The Rise of Islamic State  and the Age of Jihad  he has proved to
be leading  critical commentator of US intervention and the chaos it has wrecked  And here he
shows how  since Trump entered the White House promising an end to the Forever War  peace
appears a distant possibility with the continuation of conflict in Syria  Saudi Arabia's
violent intervention in the Yemen  the fall of the Kurds  riots in Baghdad  and the continued
aggression towards Iran. While ISIS has been defeated  it is not clear whether it has
disappeared from the region. Trump's policies has appeared to pour petrol on the flames 
emboldening the other superpowers involved in the proxy wars. Following the collapse of the
deal with Iran  and the threat of war crimes  is a new balance of power possible?
