Israel and the Clash of Civilisations: Iraq, Iran and the Plan to Remake the Middle East

In his thought-provoking new book, journalist Jonathan Cook argues that Israel's desire to be the sole regional power in the Middle East has shaped the Bush Administration's objectives in the "war on terror".

Examining a host of inter-related issues, from the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to the role of Big Oil and the demonisation of the Arab world, Cook shows that the current chaos in the Middle East, far from being a disastrous mistake, is the true goal of the Bush Administration. It is a policy that has been greatly to the benefit of Israel.
