"Using newly declassified records and long-forgotten memoirs, including the diaries of a key British spy, James Barr tears up the conventional interpretation of this era in the Middle East, vividly portraying the tensions between London and Washington, and shedding an uncompromising light on the murkier activities of a generation of American and British diehards in the region, from the battle of El Alamein in 1942 to Britain's abandonment of Aden in 1967. Reminding us that the Middle East has always served as the arena for great power conflict, this is the tale of an internecine struggle in which Britain would discover that her most formidable rival was the ally she had assumed would be her closest friend"--Provided by publisher Since 1900 fast HISTORY Europe Great Britain 20th Century. bisacsh HISTORY Middle East. bisacsh HISTORY United States 20th Century. bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE Geopolitics. bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE International Relations. bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE Terrorism. bisacsh Diplomatic relations. fast (OCoLC)fst01907412 Politics and government. fast (OCoLC)fst01919741 Aussenpolitik gnd Middle East History 20th century.
