  • Our American Israel: The Story of an Entangled Alliance

    Open Access•Douglas Little•ARTICLE•Journal of American History•2020•Cited by: 2

    Amy Kaplan, who teaches English and American studies at the University of Pennsylvania, has written a splendid treatise on the “cultural alchemy” at the core of the special relationship between the United States and Israel (p. 3). Rather than relying on diplomatic archives, Kaplan examines sermons, feature films, best-selling novels, and binge-worthy cable television to reveal the “providential narrative” that enabled one “chosen people”—the Amer…

  • Slouching towards Jerusalem: The Truman Administration and the Palestine Question

    Douglas Little•ARTICLE•Diplomatic History•2018

    Although the amount of blood shed in the Arab-Israeli conflict has gradually declined during the past seventy years, the amount of scholarly ink spilled on the creation of Israel continues to rise. Irene Gendzier, a political scientist at Boston University who earlier authored a splendid biography of Frantz Fanon and a provocative analysis of American intervention in Lebanon, offers a revisionist account of Harry Truman’s policies toward Palestin…

  • Us versus Them: "The United States, Radical Islam, and the Rise of the Green Threat"

    Douglas Little•BOOK•Us versus them•2016

    “Us Versus Them” explores the political and cultural turmoil that prompted U.S. policymakers to shift their attention from containing the “Red Threat” of international communism to combatting the “Green Threat” of radical Islam after 1989. By framing the confrontation with Islamic extremism after the Cold War through the lens of “us versus them” that had pitted Uncle Sam against Native Americans, Asian immigrants, Nazis, and eventually the Bolshe…

  • To the Shores of Tripoli: America, Qaddafi, and Libyan Revolution 1969–89

    Douglas Little•ARTICLE•The International History Review•2012•Cited by: 2

    On 1 September 1969, Colonel Muammar Qaddafi seized power in Libya, abolishing a pro-Western monarchy and launching a revolution that combined elements of Nasserism and Islamic radicalism. American policymakers quickly came to regard the Libyan revolution as anathema after Qaddafi expropriated U.S. oil companies and forced the Pentagon to relinquish its air base outside Tripoli. Misinterpreting the new regime's increasingly radical nationalism as…

  • The United States and the Kurds: A Cold War Story

    Douglas Little•ARTICLE•Journal of Cold War Studies•2010•Cited by: 3•References: 13

    In a prolonged quest for independence after 1945, Kurdish nationalists reportedly sought help from U.S. officials who viewed the Kurdish issue through a Cold War prism and who regarded the Kurds as querulous mountain tribes useful primarily in keeping the Soviet Union and its Arab clients off balance. Recently declassified documents shed new light on three key episodes in this story: first, the secret encouragement provided by Washington to Kurds…
