Shelby provides yet another example of how the Johnson presidency was much more than the Vietnam War and the Great Society. Based on multilingual archival research, Shelby shows how Johnson crafted a nuanced and sophisticated strategy vis-a-vis the Middle East that continues to resonate today. -- Luke A. Nichter, Texas A&M University at Central Texas; author of The Last Brahmin: Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. and the Making of the Cold War Understanding Lyndon Johnson's foreign policy outside of Vietnam remains a challenge for historians. Alexander M. Shelby's new book provides critical insight and an original perspective in assessing the Johnson approach to the Middle East, and in particular to Egypt's leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser. Shelby's thorough research and analysis provides a clear picture of the administration's failure and the resulting June 1967 war. The book is a vital contribution to the scholarship on this era in the history of United States foreign relations. -- Thomas Schwartz, Vanderbilt University; author of Lyndon Johnson and Europe: In the Shadow of Vietnam and Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography Author InformationAlexander M.
