Publisher Synopsis
"A must-read book for everyone interested in Soviet-American relations in the Middle East."-Douglas Little, Clark University -- Douglas Little "No one has done a better job than Craig Daigle to explain the origins of the October 1973 war. He skillfully draws on recently declassified documents to make a convincing case that U.S.-Soviet detente had the paradoxical consequence of raising the odds of war in the Middle East."-William B. Quandt, University of Virginia -- William B. Quandt "A perceptive and detailed account of the origins of the 1973 war, especially useful for the Soviet dimension."-Wm. Roger Louis, University of Texas at Austin -- Wm. Roger Louis "This is the first work to explore fully the impact of the super-power rivalry on the 1973 Middle East war. It provides a meticulous reading of newly declassified documents and a judicious analysis of international relations at the height of detente."-Rashid Khalidi, Columbia University -- Rashid Khalidi Read more...
