Between World War II and the collapse of the Soviet union, US policy toward the Middle East was based on several broad goals, the most noteworthy of which were (1) stop Soviet expansion into the region; (2) keep open the Middle Eastern lines of communication and trade; (3) maintain Western access to Middle Eastern oil; (4) foster democracy and free trade market economies; and (5) protect Israel's security. This book presents current issues concerning the Palestinians as well as a historical background.
