"This book argues the 1986 American bombing of Libya represented an act of desperation by then-president Reagan in order to salvage American credibility in the Arab world. The author asserts that the Libyan bombings served as a foreshadowing of the Iraq War illustrating U.S. willingness to use military power to preserve American interests in the Middle East"--Provided by publisher.
