Infernal Triangle. Conflict in Iraq, Afghanistan and The Levant Eyewitness Reports from the September 11 decade

Crows Nest NSW: Allen & Unwin, 1966. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. xiv 338 pages. The corners are bumped, the pages tanned and the book obviously read. It remains nonetheless a very good copy, clean unmarked and solid. "Shares the Australian war correspondent's experiences from the front lines as he speaks with perpetrators and victims of suicide bombings, militia commanders, public officials, and civilians whose lives have been shaken by the conflict in the Middle East" "It's been ten years since Al-Qaeda demolished the World Trade Center in New York on 11 September 2001. One of the most pivotal events in the last fifty years, it was a dramatic moment in which, having previously vanquished the threat of Russian Communism, the USA discovered that it had a new enemy to confront - Islamic extremism. And so began the September 11 decade. Paul McGeough was in the streets of Manhattan on that fateful day in September 2001. No journalist has monitored more closely the fallout from those destructive minutes - for Afghanistan, for Iraq and for the never-ending conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in The Levant. Together, these three locations are the Infernal Triangle, from which America has been unable to extricate itself." (Publisher)
