Irene Gendzier's critically acclaimed, wide-reaching analysis of
post-World War II U.S. policy in Lebanon posits that the politics
of oil and pipelines figured far more significantly in U.S.
relations with Lebanon than previously believed. In 1958 the United
States sent thousands of troops to shore up the Lebanese regime in
the face of domestic opposition and civil war. The justification
was preventing a coup in Iraq, but recently declassified documents
show that the true objective was to protect America's commercial,
political, and strategic interests in Beirut and the Middle East.
By reevaluating U.S.-Lebanese relations within the context of
America's collaborative intervention with the Lebanese ruling
elite, Gendzier aptly demonstrates how oil, power, and politics
drove U.S. policy and influenced the development of the state and
the region. In her new preface, Gendzier discusses the U.S.
invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the remarkable continuity of U.S.
foreign policy from 1945 to the present.
