Product Information

Unexceptional examines U.S. policy vis- -vis the Persian Gulf since the Second World War. It asserts that the American experience in this strategic yet volatile region known for its plentiful oil and gas can be best understood as an unexceptional imperial endeavor similar in kind to that of the British and Ottoman empires of previous eras.

Reviews
Marc J. O'Reilly has crafted a welcome addition to the current debate on the nature of U.S. involvement in the Persian Gulf while also providing new insights into American Middle east policy since World War II....Unexceptional will be of interest to those concerned with the current debate on U.S. imperial status and those interested in examining the continuity between past U.S. actions in the Persian Gulf and the current Iraq war....O'Reilly's project succeeds....Ultimately, Unexceptional succeeds because the interpretive framework is both relevant to contemporary debates and a provider of new insights into past U.S. actions without being marred by presentism., Marc J. O' Reilly offers a thickly researched assessment of the evolution of the 'Persian Gulf Empire' of the United States since 1941 . . . The book offers a good starting point for a comprehensive assessment of US foreign policy towards the Gulf region., Unexceptional is, in fact, an exceptional book: comprehensive, judicious, readable, and above all, timely. Americans looking for the real story of how the United States blundered into Iraq should begin their inquiry here., The book has several notable strengths....The research is prodigious, and the scope is ambitious....O'Reilly should be commended for his panoramic and bold analysis of the region. We benefit from detailed, area studies work in the field of world politics....His study should inspire more works of this kind., Marc J.

His conclusion--that the American efforts at empire building in the Gulf are not that different from those if its great power predecessors--is a welcome antidote to both the political rhetoric surrounding the Iraq issue and to the pervasive assumptions about American exceptionalism which continue to dominate most of our debates about American foreign policy., Marc O'Reilly's exhaustively researched book is the first serious effort to review the development of American policy in the Persian Gulf from World War II to the occupation of Iraq.

For the price, I expected hardcover. This book can be purchased new from a retail store in paperback for significantly less than this. The item was in good condition, I was just misled by the overpricing. Shipping was timely, which was appreciated.

The format listed in the item's description is Picture Book. A picture book is not as hard as a hardcover but not a paperback.
