| Summary: | Sent to the Middle East by Woodrow Wilson to ascertain the viability of self-determination in the disintegrating Ottoman Empire, the King-Crane Commission of 1919 was America's first foray into the region. The commission's controversial recommendations included the rejection of the idea of a Jewish state in Syria, US intervention in the Middle East and the end of French colonial aspirations. Here, in a book-length analysis of the King-Crane report, Andrew Patrick chronciles the history of early US involvement in the region, and challenges extant interpretations of the turbulent relationship between the United States and the Middle East. |
