"Through the study of President G.W. Bush administration's policy in the Middle East, with the Iraq War (2003) in first place, Hichem Karoui attempted to meet the challenge of providing us with a comprehensive monograph, full of actors and networks of relationships and institutions involved in the "making up" of American foreign policy. He neglected nothing: the clubs of neoconservatives, the intellectual elite, the various lobbies, including the Arab and the Israeli, the networks of entrepreneurs and businessmen, the military, etc." Burhan Ghalioun. "The author presents his subject with an enormous zeal for the details of the "who is who" in the past, Republican administration. For an incoming diplomat or military attache being posted to Washington, an ideal "equipement" on the way on the plane." Arno Tausch.
