Synopsis "Learning From the History of British Interventions in the Middle East"
Interrogates whether the British government has learned anything from its interventions in the Middle East, from the 1950s to 2016Learning from history helps states to create foreign and security policy that builds upon successes and avoids past mistakes. Drawing on a wealth of previously unseen documents, sourced by Freedom of Information requests, together with interviews with government and intelligence agency officials, Louise Kettle questions whether the British government has learned anything from its military interventions in the Middle East. She provides an extended commentary on military interventions in the Middle East since the 1950s, including a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Whitehall decision-making and a critical examination of the 2016 Iraq Inquiry report.The result is a highly original account of key political events that challenges the claims of lessons being learned from recent wars. This book comes at a decisive moment as the ongoing war against Daesh, conflicts in Syria, and Saudi-Iran tensions continue to leave British action in the region as a contemporary reality where lessons from the past could prevent the British government from making the same mistakes again and again.Case Studies1956 Suez: Operation Musketeer1958 Jordan: Operation Fortitude1961 Kuwait: Operation Vantage1990-1 Gulf: Operation Granby2003-9 Iraq: Operation Telic
