Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. viii, 328 p. Maps. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Palmer traces the history of America' s involvement in the Gulf from 19th-century commercial activity to the Gulf War. He argues that the Gulf War was the logical outcome of America's escalating involvement, but that the prosecution… of the war reflected US uncertainty in the region. The book shows how once Britain's influence had declined America was compelled by astrategic and economic considerations to fill the power vacuum. It initially exercised ints influence through the the Shah of Iran, but after his fall in 1979 was forced to take a more active and direct involvement to guarantee the survival of friendly states. The Gulf War was the logical out come of this development. However, the fact that the war was fought only to attain limited objectives reflects US reluctance to get too deeply involved in the politics of the region. From an on-line University posting: "Dr. Michael A. Palmer is a professor of history with the Program in Maritime Studies at East Carolina University. Professor Palmer earned his Ph.D. from Temple University in 1981 where he studied under the late Russell F. Weigley. His research and teaching interests include maritime, military, and diplomatic history, the founding of the American republic, and involvement of the United States in the Middle East since the eighteenth century. Between 1983 and 1991, Professor Palmer worked at the Naval Historical Center in Washington, DC. He served as an assistant editor of The Naval War of 1812: A Documentary History series. In 1986 he transferred to the Contemporary History Branch. In the summer of 1988 he worked as a field historian in the Persian Gulf, where he focused on the operations of Special Forces. In the fall of 1990 during Operation Desert Shield, Palmer worked in OP-603 the staff of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations' (OPNAV) Strategic Concepts Group in the Pentagon. Professor Palmer has received the Department of the Navy's Meritorious Civilian Service Medal, the Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Naval Literature, from the Naval Order of the United States, and the Moncado Prize from the Society for Military History." Good in very good dust jacket. Slightly cocked.
