Marc Lynch, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs and Director of the Project on Middle East Political Science (POMEPS) at George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, will discuss his new book, America’s Middle East: The Ruination of a Region.
From the Gulf War to Gaza, the book discusses how and why Washington ensnared itself in the Middle East and situates US policy towards the Middle East in the broader context of its foreign policy towards the region since the end of the Cold War.
