Between Doctrines

Through deep archival research, Between Doctrines explores the Johnson administration's policy towards Iran and Israel and reveals new insights into the close collaboration between Iran and Israel and their coordination of strategies vis-a-vis the United States. It thus contributes to a growing body of literature allocating relevant agency to the "smaller" US allies in the Cold War by arguing that Iran and Israel, both together and apart, intentionally impacted US policy concerning them and ultimately shaped their own trajectories with the great power and within their Middle Eastern context.
