Using recently declassified sources, this book provides the first detailed analysis of British and American propaganda in the Middle East during the years immediately following the end of the Second World War. Considering British and American propaganda within the framework of the Cold War crusade against Communism and the Soviet Union, and the developing confrontations between Arab nationalism and the West, the book investigates the central questions of Anglo-American partnership and rivalry in the period when primary responsibility for "policing" the Middle East passed from one to the other.
