As American policy makers ponder a strategy for withdrawal from Iraq, one of our preeminent diplomatic historians uncovers the largely hidden story of how the United States got into the Middle East in the first place. A breathtaking recovery of decisions taken, brazen motives, and backroom dealings, Three Kings is the first history of America's efforts to supplant the British Empire in the Middle East, during and following World War II. From F.D.R. to L.B.J., this is the story of America's scramble for political influence, oil concessions, and a new military presence based on airpower and generous American aid to shaky regimes in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, and Iraq. Marshaling new and revelatory evidence from the archives, Gardner deftly weaves together three decades of U.S. moves in the region, chronicling the early efforts to support and influence the Saudi regime (including the creation of Dhahran air base, the target of Osama bin Laden's first terrorist attack in 1996), the CIA-engineered coup in Iran, Nasser's Egypt, and, finally, the rise of Iraq as a major petroleum power. Here, the tangled threads of oil, U.S. military might, Western commercial interests, and especially the Israel-Palestine question are visible from the very beginning of "The American Century"--a history with frightening relevance for the distant prospect of peace and stability in the region today.

Draws parallels between the Vietnam War and the Iraq War while examining significant changes in the country and military since the Vietnam War, arguing that the first conflict's lessons have been ignored by today's leaders while asserting that the Iraq War is unlikely to be resolved quickly or effectively.

Beginning with an introduction to practice, audit standards and reports, this text covers both the concepts and the procedures of auditing, and reflects the challenges in accounting and auditing practice, particularly in public accounting firms. The text emphasizes financial auditors' decision-making processes, such as recognizing problems, developing audit objectives, gathering evidence with audit procedures, and making judgements about control risk and the fair presentation of financial statement assertions. There are case studies and short stories structured so as to reveal error, irregularity, or fraud in an account, with the Kingston Company used as a practice-case-within-a-textbook.
