Salim Yaqub is assistant professor of American and international history at the University of Chicago.
"In laying bare such manifold American dilemmas in the region for
the pivotal years of 1957 and 1958, Yaqub in a sharp analysis and
clear language provides much needed historical contextualizations
for problems still haunting the region and the world today." --
"Australasian Journal of American Studies"
"Presents a compelling case for a fresh interpretation of the
U.S.-Arab dynamic. . . . A thoughtful, persuasively argued study
that makes a valuable contribution. . . . Should be considered
mandatory reading for anyone seeking to understand the interaction
of U.S. Cold War imperatives with the realities of Middle Eastern
politics."
-- "Journal of Cold War Studies"
