"This book critically examines the origins of American diplomacy in the greater Persian Gulf region. W. Taylor Fain demonstrates that it was the inability of the United States to contend effectively with the disintigration of British imperial authority in the Gulf, specifically its failure to establish viable surrogates for British power in the area after 1971, that eventually led the United States to assume its current role in the region, a role that many today consider imperial."--Jacket.
