| |  | | | In Brief
This is an account of the U.S. "State Department's Arabists: 'men and women . . . who read and speak Arabic and who have passed many years of their professional lives . . . in the Arab world.' {Kaplan} traces the origins of the Arabist tradition to the Protestant missionary families who established schools and hospitals during the nineteenth century in Beirut, Cairo, eastern Turkey, western Iran, and the Saudi peninsula. . . . After World War II, Arabists whose families had lived in the Middle East for generations hoped for strongerties between the U.S. and the young Arab nations; however {this book argues that} the cold war and U.S. support for Israel dashed their hopes." (Booklist) Index.
