Salim Yaqub. Containing Arab Nationalism: The Eisenhower Doctrine and the Middle East. (The New Cold War History.) Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press. 2004. Pp. x, 377. Cloth $59.95, paper $22.50.

Apart from a brief historical introduction that narrates the relations between the United States and the Arab countries between 1941 and 1956, this book is a detailed political history of U.S. foreign policy in the Arab Middle East between 1956 and 1958. Thwarting "the Soviet threat" in the Arab Middle East was the overarching goal of the Eisenhower doctrine. This doctrine most often manifested itself in attempts to coopt the Arab states against the perceived threat to U.S. interests posed by Gamal Abdel Nassar's brand of Arab nationalism. Salim Yaqub offers an account of this attempted cooptation and provides an analysis of the series of crises that ensued in Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon (in April-July 1958). The Lebanese crisis marked the beginning of the end of the Eisenhower Doctrine.
