A breathtaking recovery of decisions taken, brazen motives, and backroom dealings, Three Kings is the first history of America's efforts to supplant the British empire in the Middle East, during and following World War II. From F.D.R. to L.B.J., this is the story of America's scramble for political influence, oil concessions, and a new military presence based on airpower. 000427431 650_0 $$aWorld politics$$y1945-1989. 000427431 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$zMiddle East. 000427431 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xForeign relations$$zUnited States. 000427431 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$y1945-1989. 000427431 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$y1945-1989$$xPhilosophy. 000427431 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGardner, Lloyd C., 1934-$$tThree kings.$$dNew York : New Press, 2009$$z9781595584748$$z9781595586445$$w(DLC) 2009014713$$w(OCoLC)318192053 000427431 8520_ $$bacq 000427431 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000427431 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=537977$$zOnline Access 000427431 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:427431$$pGLOBAL_SET 000427431 980__ $$aEBOOK 000427431 980__ $$aBIB 000427431 982__ $$aEbook 000427431 983__ $$aOnline
