Nowhere has the US military established more bases, lost more troops, or spent more money in the last 30 years than in the Middle East and Central Asia. These regions fall under the purview of US Central Command (CENTCOM). From its inception, CENTCOM was tasked with the military and economic security of this key strategic area. CENTCOM calls this mission its "Long War." This book tells the story of that long war.
