The Eisenhower Doctrine aimed to bolster Middle Eastern nations against perceived threats of international Communism while covertly targeting the rise of radical Arab nationalism, particularly under Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser. Salim Yaqub reveals how the U.S. sought to contain Nasser, whom Eisenhower viewed as a potential Soviet ally, through economic and military support. This strategy intended to align Arab governments with the West during the Cold War, ultimately isolating Nasser and reducing the risk of Soviet influence in the region.
