4.9/5 (26666 ratings)

Description:PREFACE: The ghost of the old Eastern question, never properly interred on its demise in the peace settlement of World War I, returned a quarter of a century later to stalk up and down the Middle East and haunt the great powers. The European powers, in the century following the Napoleonic wars, failed to draft a generally acceptable formula for parceling the Ottoman Empire among themselves. The Anglo-French arrangement of 1919-23 proved short-lived. For it was the product not of agreement but of competition between the two Western governments. They soon drifted into irrepressible conflict with the subordinate Middle East states that they created. The reassertion of Russian expansionist interest in the Middle East after 1940 coincided with the dissolution of the French political position and the progressive disintegration of the British imperial system in the area. This development, after 1947, led to the attempted application by the United States of its containment policy. This is now the setting for the Middle East phase of the Soviet-West global contest, the "new look" of the old Eastern Question.The present book endeavors to describe the origins and growth of American interests and responsibilities in the Middle East within the context of the region's history and the evolving pattern of European diplomatic and power rivalry in the past century and a half. The narrative is selective rather than inclusive, with emphasis on the major contemporary problems of American policy. In treating the various issues, I have tried to tell the story whole, without apology or polemic, and to avoid identification with any partisan viewpoint. The narrative and the analysis end in October 1952 when the manuscript was completed....We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
