Bücher von Aaron David Miller

Shows how the American stake in Saudi Arabian oil challenged the US to create closer ties with the Saudi kingdom, compelling the move from isolation to involvement with the Middle East. Miller describes the growing awareness of the strategic importance of Saudi Arabia, US shrinking oil reserves and the focusing of America on gaining access to the king's oil.

Miller has written extensively on the Middle East and has been an analyst with the Department of State. This volume is an excellent complement to Arthur Day's East Bank/West Bank and is useful to the serious student of Middle East politics.
