Product Description
What accounts for the dramatic rise of Saudi Arabia as a key ally of the United States in the Middle East? Though the answer has a lot to do with oil, a full explanation requires studying the nature of American power in the postwar world. From Arab Nationalism to OPEC re-examines the relationship between President Eisenhower and King Sa'ud and the Anglo-American changing of the guard in the Middle East. The book provides a framework for understanding the transition from British imperial hegemony to an American capitalist order in the Middle East, and the historical antecedents of America's leading role in the Gulf War.
