Yüzyıla Yön Veren Güç Oyunları 1916'da, İngilizlerin Kut'ül Amare'de bozguna uğramasının hemen ardından iki adam, öngörü­ lü bir politikacı olan Sir Mark Sykes ile hınç dolu bir diplomat olan François Georges- Picot Orta Doğu'yu paylaşma planlarını görüşmek üzere gizlice buluştu. İki adamın vardığı anlaşma bir yandan İngiliz-Fransız Dostluk Antlaşması'nı tehlikeye sokacak gerilimleri hafifletmeyi amaç­ larken bir yandan da Akdeniz'den İran sınırına uzanan bir hat çiziyordu. Bu keskin hattın ku­ zeyindeki bölge Fransaya, güneyindeki bölge ise Britanya'ya gidecekti. İngiltere'nin Filistin, Mavera-i Ürdün ve Irak'taki mandaları ile Fran­ sanın Lübnan ve Suriye'deki mandaları iki büyük güç arasında bir huzursuzluk doğuracaktı. Gele­ cek otuz yıla damgasını vuracak bu sıkıntı, Orta Doğu'nun da onarılmaz bir biçimde şekillenme­ sine neden olacaktı. T. E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill ve Charles de Gaulle gibi siyasetçiler, diplomatlar, ajanlar ve askerlerden oluşan yıldız kadrosuyla Kırmızı Çizgi bizlere İngiliz ve Fransızların Orta Doğu'yu yönettiği, kısa ama -çok önemli bir dönemin hikayesini canlı bir biçimde anlatıyor. Kitap aynı zamanda bu iki güç arasındaki eski çekişmenin bugün bizim için çok daha tanıdık olan, Araplar ile Yahudiler arasındaki çatışmayı nasıl ateşledi­ ğini ve en nihayetinde 1941 'de İngilizler ile Fran­ sızlar, 1948'de de Araplar ile Yahudiler arasında­ ki savaşlara nasıl vesile olduğunu net bir şekilde ortaya koyuyor. James Barr'ın, Orta Doğu'nun kaderine yön veren ve bugün bölgenin adeta gayya kuyusu­ na dönüşmesinde hatırı sayılır bir rol oynayan İngilizler ile Fransızlar arasındaki gizli kapaklı mücadeleyi kaleme aldığı Kırmızı Çizgi, Orta Doğu'nun yakın tarihine ilgi duyan herkesin mutlaka okuması gereken bir kitap.

When I arrived in graduate school, I did not know what it meant to be a historian and a writer. Working with him, especially in the development of this manuscript, I have come to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and he has made me a better historian. Thank you. The members of my dissertation committee have each aided me in different ways. Michael Stoff’s introductory historiography seminar helped me realize exactly what I had gotten myself into my first year of graduate school—and made it painless. I always enjoyed Mark Lawrence’s classes and his teaching style, and he was extraordinarily supportive during the writing of my master’s thesis, as well as my qualifying exams. I workshopped the first two chapters of my dissertation in Bill Brands’s writing seminar, where I learned precisely what to do and not to do.

THE UNITED STATES AND PALESTINE: THE QUESTIONS 1 II. PRESIDENT TRUMAN FACES THE PROBLEM 22 III. UNITED NATIONS PARTITION AND AMERICAN RECOGNITION 45 EPILOGUE 84 APPENDIX A 90 APPENDIX B 93 BIBLIOGRAPHY 98 ABSTRACT PREFACE In 1948 A.D., just over 2,000 years after the Diaspora* of 6 8 B.C., a Jewish state came into existence in Palestine. This was of considerable significance to the United States. Not only was it an additional consideration in the formulation of foreign policy towards the Middle East, but America had played a major part in the establish- ment of the state of Israel. President Truman has been subjected to considerable attack as a result of this, by critics who interpret his actions as being motivated by an ethnic pressure group and domestic politics rather than by the national interest. This study analyzes the factors leading up to the decision by President Truman to recognize Israel. Such an analysis reveals that although tremendous pressure was exerted by Zionist organizations. Congressmen, the press and the Democratic National Committee, on Truman to support the foundation of a Jewish state in Palestine, he was reluc- tant to do so. Nor was it domestic politics that led him finally to act.
