Though the threat of direct Axis invasion never materialized beyond the Egyptian Western Desert with Rommel's Afrika Korps, this did not limit the Axis from probing the Middle East and cultivating potential collaborators and sympathizers. These actions left an indelible mark in the socio-political evolution of the modern states of the Middle East. This book explores the infusion of the political language of anti-Semitism, nationalism, fascism, and Marxism that were among the ideological byproducts of Axis and Allied intervention in the Arab world. The status of British-dominated Middle East was tailor-made for exploitation by Axis intelligence and propaganda. German and Italian intelligence efforts fueled anti-British resentments; their influence shaped the course of Arab nationalist sentiments throughout the Middle East. A relevant parallel to the pan-Arab cause was Hitler's attempt to bring ethnic Germans into the fold of a greater German state. In theory, as the Sudeten German stood on par with the Carpathian German, so too, according to doctrinal theory, did the Yemeni stand in union with the Syrian in the imagination of those espousing pan-Arabism. As historic evidence demonstrates, this very commonality proved to be a major factor in the development of relations between Arab and Fascist leaders. The Arab nationalist movement amounted to nothing more than a shapeless, fragmented, counter position to British imperialism, imported to the Arab East via Berlin for Nazi aspirations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-248) and index. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Middle East. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Secret service $z Middle East. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Influence. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Politics and government $y 1914-1945. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / World War II. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Middle East / General. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Aboul-Enein, Basil H. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Aboul-Enein, Youssef H. $t Secret war for the Middle East $d Annapolis, MD : Naval Institute Press, 2013 $z 9781612513362 $w (DLC) 2013030012 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180125030537.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826085244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6F1EC16E066511E4B09646AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
