Description
Britain's Secret Alliances: A Year of Unreported Diplomacy and Military Intervention. The past year has seen significant events unfold in the Middle East and at home, with Britain playing a complex role in both regions. Mark Curtis reveals the unreported attempts by the British government to cultivate relations with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt after the fall of Mubarak, as well as its military intervention on the side of Libyan rebel forces that include pro-al-Qaeda elements. The ongoing reliance on Saudi Arabia, the ultimate fundamentalist state in the region, is also a key aspect of Britain's strategy. Curtis examines how this relationship affects British interests in the Middle East and sheds light on the often-overlooked diplomatic efforts and military interventions that have shaped the region's politics.
