America's Wars for the Middle East

Explore more than seven decades of American involvement in the Middle East with this intricately hand-drawn historical map.

From the early years of the Cold War to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the fight against ISIS, America’s Wars for the Middle East traces the conflicts, events, policies, and people that shaped the United States’ long and complicated history in the region.

At the center of the piece is a detailed map of the Middle East, surrounded by hand-drawn illustrations, smaller regional maps, timelines, portraits, statistics, and historical information. The map covers major events and subjects including the Arab-Israeli wars, the Carter and Bush Doctrines, the Balkans, the September 11 terrorist attacks, the War on Terror, and the rise and fall of the Islamic State.

Every element of the original artwork was drawn by hand, combining history, geography, and illustration into a single piece designed to be explored up close. Rather than focusing only on individual wars, the map puts these events into their broader historical and geographic context, showing how decades of conflicts and American foreign policy are connected.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, veteran, military history collector, or simply interested in understanding America’s role in the modern Middle East, this piece is designed to be both a work of art and something you can return to again and again.
