This book aims to explore Anglo-American defence policies in the Middle East between 1945and 1955 and the attempts of these two Western powers to contain the Soviet expansiontowards the region. It does not attempt to offer a comprehensive history of British andAmerican policies in the Middle East. Instead, it aims to explore those policies with aparticular focus on the problems of Middle East defence. It also seeks to determine the aimsbehind the proposals of MEC, MEDO, NTDC and BP, their failings, and the struggle that wasundertaken against them by hostile countries, such as Egypt, India and the Soviet Union. Itexamines the events surrounding their formation, development and collapse. Furthermore, itexplores the policies of the regional countries, namely Turkey, Pakistan, Iran and Iraq. Thus, itposes the questions of how the participating countries perceived the question of Middle Eastdefence, what their basic aims were, and what problems they faced while trying to achievethese aims and implementing their chosen solutions.
