What is it about?
A review of Geoffrey Gresh's of American military presence in the Gulf
Featured Image
Why is it important?
The Gulf region is of central importance to global economic and political security
Perspectives
The review is a mostly favorable assessment of Gresh's thesis that when an Arab nation sees an external threat, U.S. forces are welcome and when the threat is internal, the rulers seek to distance themselves from the US.
