Description: "Larry Everest details the U.S. race to extend its global power-and Iraq's unlucky central role. Demolishing official pretexts of weapons of mass destruction, ties to Sept. 11, and liberating Iraqis, Everest drills to the heart of the issue. Amidst dramatic economic and political shifts, the U.S. is attempting to redraw the world's geopolitical map, reshape the Middle East, and tighten its control of energy sources as part of an effort to solidify its global dominance"--P. [4] of cover.
