Book Presentation: Marching Toward Hell by Michael Scheuer
Book Abstract
Marching Toward Hell does not simply lay the blame for the failed Iraq war at the feet of the Bush administration. Rather, the author shows how America’s foreign policy since the end of the Cold War has undermined American security and made it possible for terrorists like Osama bin Laden to launch devastating attacks on our country.

In 1973, the U.S. faced two major challenges in the Middle East, both of which have had a lasting impact on our foreign policy:
