«Weltmacht im Treibsand: Bush gegen die Ayatollahs» is the political essay by Peter Scholl-Latour, published by Propyläen in hardback (350 pages, in German).
The author takes stock of the Bush administration's anti-terror war and the United States' involvement in the Middle East, especially the Iraq war and relations between Washington and the ayatollahs. Scholl-Latour critically examines the causes and consequences of the conflict from his deep knowledge of the region.
The work, published in 2004, corresponds to the 4th edition and includes maps on the endpapers and an index.
It will appeal to readers of history and geopolitics who appreciate the critical perspective of a journalist with extensive on-the-ground experience in the region.
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.
