In the aftermath of the Suez Crisis, President Dwight D. Eisenhower boldly declared that the United States would henceforth serve as the region's "protector of freedom" against Communist aggression. Eighteen months later the president invoked the Eisenhower Doctrine, landing troops in Lebanon and setting an enduring precedent for U.S. intervention in the Middle East. How did Eisenhower justify this intervention to an American public wary of foreign entanglements? Why did he boldly issue the doctrine that bears his name? And, most important, how has Eisenhower's rhetoric continued to influence American policy and perception of the Middle East? Randall Fowler answers these questions and more in More Than a Doctrine . With the expansion of America's global influence and the executive branch's power, presidential rhetoric has become an increasingly important tool in U.S. foreign policy--nowhere more so than in the Middle East. By examining Eisenhower's rhetoric, More Than a Doctrine  explores how the argumentative origins of the Eisenhower Doctrine Address continue to impact us today.   607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1953-1961 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign relations$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a327.7305609/045 700 $aFowler$b Randall$01870922 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956571703321 996 $aMore Than a Doctrine$94479502 997 $aUNINA
