“US-Egypt Diplomacy under Johnson is a well-researched and significant book which chronicles and analyzes how one government official, Robert Komer, shaped American-Egyptian diplomatic relations. For Komer, a grand strategy meant working with Nasser – in spite of ideological differences – to contain Soviet influence in the Middle East. This book is a must read for anyone wishing to understand how one individual greatly influenced diplomacy between Washington and Cairo from the Kennedy Administration to the Johnson Administration.”
