Recommendation

Without mincing words, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – the nephew of former US president John F. Kennedy – says it straight: The current conflict in Syria is a war for oil. Drawing on information from the Bruce-Lovett Report – a 1957 secret investigation into the CIA’s “active meddling” in the Arab world, the author provides a detailed overview of clandestine US involvement in the Middle East since 1949. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends this detailed, historical analysis to all those seeking insight into a contentious region.

Take-Aways

  • Oil – not religion or ideology – is the driving force behind the current Middle Eastern crisis.
  • “Clandestine” US involvement in the Middle East has been ongoing since the 1950s.
  • The CIA has trained and financed radical groups in the Middle East in an attempt to influence the region’s politics.
