Middle East: End of a Road
Barraclough, Geoffrey | March 2, 1957 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the limitations of an arms diplomacy. Nowhere in the world are the alternatives confronting U.S. political strategy today more clearly defined than in the Middle East. The decision, after Suez, to intervene in the Middle East was a continuation of the policy which Washington has pursued, in one sphere after another, ever since 1947. On the other hand, there are specific factors in the Middle East situation which differentiate it sharply from those with which the U.S. has coped since the inception of the cold war. It is this interplay between continuity and discontinuity, this combination of old and new, that has made the Middle East the testing-ground of American diplomacy.
