The repurcussions of the "Syrian crisis" of 1957, a covert attempt by the Eisenhower administration to overthrow what it perceived to be an emerging Soviet client state, almost precipitated a superpower confrontation and made obvious the pitfalls of a Middle East policy focused on the "Soviet threat". This book examines the evolution of US foreign policy toward Syria and the Middle East at the height of the cold war era.
