«Der Fluch der bösen Tat» is the political essay by Peter Scholl-Latour, published by Propyläen Verlag in hardback (351 pages, in German).
Peter Scholl-Latour examines how Western interventions have aggravated conflicts in the Middle East, from the Syrian civil war to the standoff between Iran and Israel, with Turkey, Egypt or the Caucasus in turmoil. The journalist, who knew the region for sixty years, denounces misinformation about Syria and dissects the area's ethnic, religious and ideological landscape.
Subtitled «Das Scheitern des Westens im Orient», it was published on 12 September 2014 and is considered the legacy of the journalist, who died that year.
For readers of geopolitics and journalism interested in the veteran correspondent's view of the Middle East; it was a bestseller on the Spiegel list.
Peter Roman Scholl-Latour was a French-German journalist, author and reporter. Scholl-Latour was regarded as one of Europe's most important journalists, akin to what Walter Cronkite was in the US. For over six decades, he was one of the continent's most influential voices. During the Vietnam War, he was captured by the Viet Cong and managed to secure unique film footage during his captivity.
