Ambassador Chas W. Freeman Jr. is one of America's most brilliant and experienced diplomats and an outspoken advocate of diplomacy and other measures short of war to address international problems. In the first installment of this work, he trenchantly described the challenges he faced when, as US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia in 1990, he worked with coalition partners to push Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. He also reflected on the origins of Washington's numerous intelligence failures in the Middle East, "the American way of war," and Washington's consistent failure in recent decades to plan for termination and a stable political end-state for the wars it has so cavalierly launched.
American's Continuing Misadventures in the Middle East is a revised and updated version of that earlier work. In it, Freeman deploys his customary insight and wit to look at the significance of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the complex consequences of the Arab Spring, the special role the Middle East plays in global affairs (and in US strategy and politics), and the roles played in the region by China and other world powers.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Chas W. Freeman, Jr. spent three decades as a US diplomat, winding up his government service as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs. In the course of his varied and distinguished career, he was the principal American interpreter during Nixon's visit to Beijing; played a key role in shaping relations with China as it reformed and opened up; helped negotiate the deal with the leaders of Cuba, South Africa, Angola, and the Soviet Union that ended the colonial era in Africa by terminating South African rule in Namibia and removing Cuban troops from Angola; served as ambassador to Saudi Arabia during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm; designed NATO's transformation into a Europe-wide security system; and set up military-to-military relations with China. Since his retirement from government, he has remained actively engaged on five continents and has continued to speak and write on issues of international relations and US foreign policy.
