More recently, globalization and the region's ongoing conflicts and political violence have led to the U.S. being more politically, economically, and militarily enmeshed - for better or worse--throughout the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the emergence and development of U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East from the early 1900s to the present.
