Course Description
This course offers a history of Americans' involvement in the Middle East and responses to them. Using new approaches to international history, we study 19th-century pilgrimages to the Holy Land, Wilsonian diplomacy, oil businesses, philanthropists, Zionists, spies in the Cold War, and finally the soldiers who fought the Iraq war. Students write a final paper based on research at the Library of Congress or National Archives.
