Books, Manuscripts
The early years of Syrian-US relations can be described as hopes dashed, hopes revived. Although American missionaries had visited the Middle East in the 19th century, it was not until after World War I that Syrian and US dignitaries met in an official capacity. The relationship had it ups-and-downs: warm under Woodrow Wilson; virtually non-existent under Warren Hardin and Calvin Coolidge; revived under Franklin Roosevelt when Syria sided with the Allies to declare war on Nazi Germany. This title explores the relationship between these two countries.
