This book focuses on selected themes from the period in Middle Eastern history that begins with the end of Suez Campaign in November 1956, and ends with the Sinai II or Interim Agreement signed by Israel and Egypt in early September 1975. The collection provides a comprehensive view of the struggle between the superpowers during the Cold War, the circumstances that led to the Six Day War in June 1967, Israeli and Egyptian policies following the war, and the ever-deepening American involvement in the region versus the USSR´s lessening impact.
