American postwar efforts to ameliorate Arab-Israeli relations entangled the United States in the Arab-Israeli conflict in complex ways. Historian Peter L. Hahn explores the diplomatic and cultural factors that influenced the policies of Presidents Truman and Eisenhower as they faced the escalation of one of the modern world's most intractable disputes.

Peter L. Hahn is associate professor of history at The Ohio State University and executive director of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. He is author of "The United States, Great Britain, and Egypt, 1945-1956: Strategy and Diplomacy in the Early Cold War."
