From the Back Cover

Proceeding from the premise that preoccupation with the Cold War rivalry prevented both superpowers from adequately assessing the situation on the ground in the Middle East, Taylor analyzes the efforts made by the U.S. and the Soviet Union to gain political ascendancy in the area since 1945.
