This insightful work explores one of the under-examined eras of US
foreign policy toward the Palestinian question: the Reagan years.
The Reagan tenure is often perceived as one of disengagement from
the region, especially in the aftermath of the bombing in Lebanon.
Nicholas Laham contends that this is not so and that the Reagan
administration set the tone for US policy for the next two decades.
Specifically the work analyzes the nexus between domestic actors
and US foreign policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict. Employing
significant archival materials, the book probes in detail the
machinations which produced new policies and new policy priorities
during this era. This study is provocative but the arguments are
well-supported and solid, thus offering a major contribution to the
literature. The work will prove a valuable reference tool on the
Reagan presidency, the Palestinian conflict, the Middle East and
international relations more generally in light of the 2001
terrorist attacks, the war with Iraq and the continuing
ramifications of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
