In an account of the U.S. role in the Middle East, Three Kings is an “erudite, persuasively argued, and lucid” (Publishers Weekly) narrative of Americas deep and tangled relationships in the region.
Three Kings reveals a story of Americas scramble for political influence, oil concessions, and a new military presence based on airpower and generous American aid to shaky regimes in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, and Iraq. Deftly weaving together three decades of U.S. moves in the region, Lloyd Gardner delves into early American efforts to support the influence the Saudi regime (including the creation of Dhahran air base, the target of Osama bin Ladens first terrorist attack in 1996); the CIA-engineered coup in Iran; Nassers Egypt; and, finally, the rise of Iraq as a major petroleum power.
As American policy makers and military planners grapple with a radically new and rapidly shifting political landscape in this vital region, Gardner uncovers “valuable new factual evidence… ably guid[ing] the reader through the perilous chess game that has played out in the region since World War II” (Kirkus Reviews).

Detailed insights into a complex topic
This book provides an intricate look at American involvement in the Middle East after WWII. I found the details fascinating, though the used condition made some parts a bit challenging to read. Nonetheless, it was worth my time!

Great value for history buffs
Found 'The Rise of an American Empire' in used condition and it’s still packed with info! Perfect for history fans like me who want to understand the geopolitical shifts post-WWII. Just wish it came in better condition.

Condition was disappointing
I bought 'The Rise of an American Empire' thinking it'd be in decent shape, but it was really worn out. While the subject matter is compelling, I wish the seller had been clearer about the condition. It affected my reading experience.

Not as great as I expected
I had high hopes for 'The Rise of an American Empire,' but the used condition was a letdown. The content is solid, but several sections had highlighting and notes from previous readers. If you're okay with that, it's worth it!
