The first five essays in Chomsky's new book on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East are actually reprinted from his 1974 book Peace in the Middle East? Reflections on Justice and Nationhood , but the basic issues he raised in those essays, he believes, remain unresolved and not yet properly addressed. He supplements 1974's examination of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with more recent observations penned between 1997 and 2002 that, while still centered on questions of Israel and Palestine, tend to take a wider, more regional view of the problems of the Middle East and the negative effects of how the U.S. engages them.
