Abstract
America’s War for the Greater Middle East is orchestrated by Andrew J. Bacevich based on a series of failed American policies in the region. The book is a surprising account from an American military historian‟s perspective who critically views American policies in the Middle East and considers them persistent blunders. Bacevich draws down some fatal mistakes made by the U.S. policymakers, from extensive support of authoritarian regimes to support of dissident groups in various countries of the region. With these, the U.S. has shattered the cohesion of Middle East society. According to the author, the region remained a testing laboratory for the U.S. policymakers; therefore, American influence in the region is waning gradually.
