Crisis and Crossfire: The United States and the Middle East Since 1945
Hahn (history, Ohio State U.) summarizes US foreign policy in the Middle East from the close of World War II to the present day. He chronologically describes the genesis of deepening US involvement in the context of the Cold War, later focusing on themes of Arab and Israeli nationalism, US experiences with specific nationalist leaders, US efforts to steer or undermine nationalist movements in conservative pro-Western directions that would serve US interests, and attempts to maintain access to strategic interests in the region such as oil and military bases. US involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflict and Washington's efforts on behalf of various "peace processes" are also a major theme. Distributed in the US by Books International.
