This book explores three themes. The Eisenhower Administration's
overriding Cold War goal in the oil-rich Middle East was minimizing
Soviet influence. Second, Soviet support for Arab opposition to
British colonialism and Israeli Zionism prompted Arab nationalists
to embrace neutralism in the Cold War. Third, Eisenhower and Dulles
perceived neutral Arab nationalism as virtually tantamount to
pro-communism. Syria, the most xenophobic Arab state, was deemed
most susceptible to Soviet enticements. This book concludes that
U.S. policies in Syria went awry, provoking Syria to collaborate
even more closely with the Soviet Union.
