  Examines why the government led by Harold Macmillan remained ready to use force to prop up the regime of King Hussein even though the United States had emerged as the main Western power in the Middle East after 1956. This work gives insights into the origins of the Anglo-American use of military power to protect their interests in the Middle East.
