نبذة مختصرة

Malcolm Kerr gives a critical exposition of the two major opposing trends that shaped U.S. policy in the Middle East in the 1970s: The "Cold Warriors," headed by Henry Kissinger, view Middle East questions from a narrow angle of competition with the Soviet Union for client states, while the "Regionalists," typified by George Ball, look toward a solution that would be based primarily on the particular character of Middle East problems and U.S. interests.
