The Middle East and the United States

The important position of the United States and the Middle East has traditionally been examined from a one-dimensional perspective. The second edition of this book brings together noted scholars and diplomats from the Middle East, North America, and Europe to provide a multidimensional and cross-cultural reassessment of American policy toward the region. The book has been completely revised and updated, examining such encounters as the King-Crane Commission following World War I to the current Israeli-Palestinian negotiation and security questions in the Gulf.
