A study of relations between the two countries, from both American and Middle Eastern perspectives, based on the context of L. Carl Brown's Eastern Question (the period of the Ottoman Empire collapse and European intervention) rather than a Cold War context. Chapters cover policies and themes during the post-WWII period within a chronological framework, and emphasize issues and interpretations that have been overlooked or are in contradiction to previous studies, such as Roosevelt's courting of Farouk and Eisenhower's secret peace plan. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
This book discusses the relations between the United States and Egypt from Roosevelt to Eisenhower. To protect the free flow of oil, American policymakers looked to Egypt to provide the progressive, pro-Western leadership they believed would insure stability to the region. America's attempts to balance the needs of its British allies with those of Egypt coupled with Egypt's quest for regional hegemony proved to be a recipe for trouble. In the end, America failed in grooming Egypt as the pro-Western leader, could not bring peace to the region, and could not prevent the Soviet Union from gaining a foothold. Yet, the oil continued to flow.
