Summary

Danny and Derek welcome back to the program Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt, associate professor of history at California State University, Stanislaus, to continue the series on his book The Paranoid Style in American Diplomacy: Oil and Arab Nationalism in Iraq. This episode picks up in WWII, exploring how that conflict changed the West's relationship with oil, building anti-British sentiment in Iraq, how that country became a higher priority after Iran began asserting itself in the 1950s, the 1958 officers' coup and how it compares with that of Nasser's in Egypt, and more into the early 1960s.
