Egypt figured prominently in United States policy in the Middle
East after World War II because of its strategic, political, and
economic importance. Peter Hahn explores the triangular
relationship between the United States, Great Britain, and Egypt in
order to analyze the justifications and implications of American
policy in the region and within the context of a broader Cold War
strategy.
This work is the first comprehensive scholarly account of relations
between those countries during this period. Hahn shows how the
United States sought to establish stability in Egypt and the Middle
East to preserve Western interests, deny the resources of the
region to the Soviet Union, and prevent the outbreak of war. He
demonstrates that American officials' desire to recognize Egyptian
nationalistic aspirations was constrained by their strategic
imperatives in the Middle East and by the demands of the
Anglo-American alliance.
Using many recently declassified American and British political and
military documents, Hahn offers a comprehensive view of the
intricacies of alliance diplomacy and multilateral relations. He
sketches the United States' growing involvement in Egyptian affairs
and its accumulation of commitments to Middle East security and
stability and shows that these events paralleled the decline of
British influence in the region.
Hahn identifies the individuals and agencies that formulated
American policy toward Egypt and discusses the influence of
domestic and international issues on the direction of policy. He
also explains and analyzes the tactics devised by American
officials to advance their interests in Egypt, judging their
soundness and success.
