It focuses on the problems of Middle East defense and seeks to determine the aims behind the proposals of Middle East Command, Middle East Defense Organization Northern, Tier Defense Concept, and Baghdad Pact. It also examines the policies of regional countries and poses the questions of how they perceived the question of Middle East defense, what their basic aims were, and what problems they faced while trying to achieve these aims. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 294 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 May 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive book delves into the intricate dynamics of Anglo-American defense policies in the Middle East between 1945 and 1955, with a particular focus on the efforts of these two Western powers to contain the Soviet expansion towards the region. Rather than attempting to provide a comprehensive historical account of British and American policies in the Middle East, it examines these policies in depth, emphasizing the challenges of Middle East defense. Additionally, the book seeks to unravel the underlying objectives behind the proposals of Middle East Command, Middle East Defense Organization Northern, Tier Defense Concept, and Baghdad Pact, as well as their shortcomings and the formidable resistance they encountered from hostile countries such as Egypt, India, and the Soviet Union. By exploring the events surrounding their formation, development, and collapse, the book sheds light on the complex interplay of regional countries, including Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq, in shaping their approaches to Middle East defense. Through a rigorous analysis, it poses insightful questions about how these countries perceived the issue of Middle East defense, their core aims, and the obstacles they faced in pursuing and implementing their chosen solutions. This insightful work provides valuable insights into the complex and multifaceted history of Anglo-American defense policies in the Middle East, shedding light on the strategies, challenges, and outcomes of this critical period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 590g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160 x 237 x 33 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666926453\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Behcet Kemal Yesilbursa","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44249557762298,"sku":"9781666926453","price":91.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1684501895037_book.jpg?v=1684840902","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/angloamerican-defense-projects-in-the-postwar-middle-east-cold-war-or-imperialism-9781666926453","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
