By prioritizing Cold War détente rather than genuine stability in the Middle East, Daigle shows, the United States and the Soviet Union fueled regional instability that ultimately undermined the prospects of a lasting peace agreement. Daigle further argues that as détente increased tensions between Arabs and Israelis, these tensions in turn negatively affected U.S.-Soviet relations.Cold WarArab-Israeli conflictMiddle EastForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsMiddle EastUnited StatesForeign relationsSoviet UnionSoviet UnionForeign relationsUnited StatesCold War.Arab-Israeli conflict.956.04Daigle Craig478713MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910952277203321The limits of détente4353409UNINA
