Description: United States, Great Britain, and Egypt, 1945-1956: Strategy and Diplomacy in the Early Cold War
Brief description: Peter L. Hahn is professor of history at Ohio State University.
Review Quotes: "This study will change the way historians view several important issues: U.S. policy toward Egypt and Middle Eastern nationalism; the Anglo-American 'special relationship' in the region; the importance of strategic considerations in Cold War diplomacy; and the origins of the Suez crisis -- to list only a few. In short, this is a major study and a model of multi-archival research." -- David Painter, Georgetown University
