Best of Enemies: A History of US and Middle East Relations, Part Three: 1984-2013
Jean-Pierre Filiu and David B
(SelfMadeHero £14.99)
PARTS one and two of Jean-Pierre Filiu and David B’s The Best of Enemies series served as a potent example of the power of comics to take complex subjects like the 300-year history of America and the Middle East and present them in a concise and entertaining manner.
Volume three continues that tradition, taking readers through 29 years of US imperial meddling, backstabbing and invasions, from Ronald Reagan’s humiliations to the wars of Bush father and son on Iraq, Clinton’s hijacking of the Israel-Palestine peace talks, the Afghanistan war and Obama’s Libyan and Syrian campaigns.
