About This Book

يُعدّ كتاب الوهم الكبير لستيفن سايمون ثمرة ما يقارب أربعين عاماً في أعلى مستويات صناعة القرار والبحث الأكاديمي، وهو عمل بارز يقدم سرداً شاملاً وعميقاً لانخراط الولايات المتحدة في الشرق الأوسط.

يبدأ سايمون من عهد إدارة ريغان، حين تغيّرت النظرة الأميركية إلى المنطقة من كونها مجموعة دول بعيدة كثيراً ما تتنازع، إلى فرصة لامعة وملحّة لأميركا كي (بحسب كلمات ريغان) "تخدم قضية السلام العالمي ومستقبل البشرية."

أطلق ريغان الشرارة لمسار عقود من التورط الأميركي المتزايد، ومع نمو الاقتصاد العالمي وازدياد الاعتماد على النفط، باتت الطاقات الدبلوماسية والعسكرية الأميركية أكثر فأكثر مستغرقة في الشرق الأوسط.

يستعرض الوهم الكبير دوافع واستراتيجيات ونواقص كل إدارة رئاسية من ريغان حتى اليوم، كاشفاً شبكة من الأحداث المتشابكة: من تاريخ الصراع الفلسطيني–الإسرائيلي وسط السياسة الداخلية الإسرائيلية، إلى تنافسات الحرب الباردة، وسعي السعودية وراء الأمن، وصولاً إلى أحداث 11 أيلول والحرب على الإرهاب—كل ذلك ضمن عملية صنع قرار في واشنطن كثيراً ما حكمتها الأوهام والتجاذبات الحزبية.

بأسلوبه الساخر الحاد وكتابته الدقيقة، يحيي سايمون التاريخ المعقد ويمنحه حياة نابضة. يسلّط الضوء على دوافع التزام أميركا تجاه إسرائيل؛ ويفكك السردية الشائعة عن حرب الخليج باعتبارها "حرباً جيدة"؛ ويكشف العواقب المدمرة لأخطاء واشنطن، خصوصاً على شعوب المنطقة العالقة تحت وطأة العمليات العسكرية الأميركية والعقوبات الاقتصادية القاسية.

يكشف الوهم الكبير أن هذه القصة، رغم ما تحمله من لحظات مثيرة للإعجاب، كانت في كثير من الأحيان مأساوية وأحياناً غير مشرّفة. ومع دخولنا حقبة جديدة في السياسة الخارجية، يقدّم الكتاب تاريخاً تحذيرياً أساسياً يوضح ميل أميركا إلى خداع الذات والمغامرة في لحظة تعيد فيها الأمة تعريف انخراطها مع عالم يرزح تحت الأزمات.
