Blake Dunnavent A fter days of tedious excursions in the miserable humidity of 1\.. Florida's Everglades, LieutenantJohn T. McLaughlin decided to return his disabled and ick to their i land base. The ailors, now several years into the Second Seminol War, had become phys ically overwhelmed by the wet condition, biting insects, and swampli£ around them. Moving through terrain typified by"continuou por­ tage over tump and cypres knee with occasional glimp es of open water," the healthier of McLaughlin' men continu d their assignment, paddling their mall canoes to search out ign of en­ emy activity. Excitement arose as three canoes were di covered con­ cealed in the undergrowth, but the force did not locate any Indians. When given orders to proceed to the coast, the men found a renewed strength as they maneuvered their own boats away from the anxiety of riverine warfare.' Lieutenant McLaughlin's experience in the final months of the Second Seminole War provide an example of th develop­ ment of a naval tactical doctrine for the operations in Florida's riv­ erine environment. Drawing upon a pects of riverine operation originated in the American Revolution (including hara sing fire, R. Blake Dunnav nt i assistant profe or of history at Lubb ck Christian niv rsity. 1.

Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it).

I declare that my thesis consists of approximately 92,500 words. 2 Abstract This thesis offers a fresh interpretation of Anglo-American relations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the period 1941 to 1945. Historians of Anglo-American relations have characterized the bilateral relationship as one of rivalry and polarization. While examples of underlying national competition can be identified wherever the wartime alliance operated, whether on the battlefield or at the conference table, the commonalities which united the allies should, however, be given equal weight.

  • Introduction: a New Deal for the Middle East
    Notes Introduction: A New Deal for the Middle East 1. Memorandum of conversation on Palestine, Foreign Office, April 11, 1944, Lot Files 78D440, Record Group 59, National Archives and Record Administration (hereafter referred to as NARA). 2. “Summary of Opinion and Ideas on International Postwar Problems,” September 9, 1942, Postwar Foreign Policy Files, Welles Papers, folder 1, box 190, Sumner Welles Papers, Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library, Hyde Park, New York (hereafter referred to as FDRL). Although this book makes extensive use of primary sources, it also utilizes the last quarter cen- tury of historiography as well as new historiographical methodologies such as decolonization. It has been three decades since the appearance of the two standard accounts of the origins of the United States in the Middle East: Phillip J. Baram’s The Department of State in the Middle East, 1919– 1945 (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1978) and Thomas Bryson’s Seeds of Middle East Crisis: The United States Diplomatic Role in the Middle East during World War II (Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 1981) and The Department of State in the Middle East, 1919–1945 (Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow Press, 1975). Both accounts relied almost exclusively on the State Department’s series Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) without the benefit of the many collections at the US National Archives, FDRL, or archival materials in Britain and the Middle East. Nor did earlier accounts approach the subject of the United States in the Middle East from the per- spective of empire and decolonization. 3.
