This historical dictionary brings together information about the
people, institutions, and events that brought the United States in
contact with the Middle East and have played a significant role in
shaping our relations with the area from the eighteenth century to
the present time. The author's introduction presents an historical
review of the role Americans and American institutions have played
in the region. Entries include persons who have actually been in
the Middle East, particularly those who left notable written or
visual records; organizations and institutions that operated in the
Middle East; and events that occurred in the area. Following a
descriptive essay, each entry lists books and articles written
about the subject, and where relevant, general biographical
dictionaries in which the subject appears. Lists of abbreviations
and place names, as well as separate bibliography and an index, are
provided.
