Editorial Reviews
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.

About the Author
Nathan J. Citino received a Ph.D. in history from Ohio State University. He is an assistant professor of history at Colorado State University and serves as an associate editor of Diplomatic History.
