"The Middle East is the beginning and the end of U.S. foreign policy: events there influence our alliances, make or break presidencies, govern the price of oil, and draw us into war. In this gripping story of American misadventures in the region, Patrick Tyler shows that the history of American presidents' dealings there is one of mixed motives, skulduggery, deceit, and outright foolishness, in addition to policy making and diplomacy." "Tyler draws on newly opened presidential archives to dramatize the approach to the Middle East in U.S. presidencies from Eisenhower's to George W. Bush's. He takes us into the Oval Office and shows how our leaders made momentous decisions; at the same time, the sweep of his narrative - from the Suez crisis to the Iran hostage debacle to George W. Bush's catastrophe in Iraq - lets us see the big picture as never before."--BOOK JACKET.
