Allies
The U.S., Britain, and Europe in the Aftermath of the Iraq War
Sinopsis
The Cold War certainties that had seemed so fixed in the 20th Century were overturned by the war in Iraq. Saddam Husseins Republican Guards were the battlefield victims of a brutally quick war of shock and awe. No less shocked and awed were some of Americas former allies: "old" Europe, large blocks of the UN, and half the G8 nations suddenly found themselves outside the chain of command and influence.
Bush, Blair, and their allies were driven by a new global vision. Their mission, expressed with great moral certainty, has been called imperialist. In fact, it was simply inevitable after 9/11: that terrible event ushered in a new era with new rules. Shawcross shows what the future will hold for Iraq, Israel, and the Middle East, how Western alliances will be changed forever, and demonstrates that the war was the definitive proof that a new era of 21st Century international politics has begun.
