The current situation in the Arab world is not just a spontaneous result. It's beyond the immediate frustrations seen with leaders who plundered and destroyed everything. Its roots stretch back to the early 20th century. The British, American intelligence, French, and occasionally the Russians have been trying to control the Middle East and its resources, treating it like a geopolitical chess game. They established intricate spy networks, fought against the spread of communism, supported fundamentalist movements, and were involved in power plays, switching allegiances, and provoking conflicts. This was all while exploiting the short-sightedness of the Arab parties involved in the conspiracies, focusing on the winning side of these long-standing games. The book provides a unique insight into the intelligence games led by Kermit Roosevelt, Allen Dulles, Kim Philby, and others, as well as the growth of Middle Eastern terrorist networks over decades.
