Beirut 1958: How America's Wars in the Middle East Began

What wasn't learned from a U.S. intervention that succeeded

Bruce Riedel's new book tells the now-forgotten story (forgotten, that is, in the United States) of the first U.S. combat operation in the Middle East. President Eisenhower sent the Marines in the wake of a bloody coup in Iraq, a seismic event that altered politics not only of that country but eventually of the entire region.
