?The author sets out to discuss and evaluate Turkish-US relations
between 1974 and 1980, the period when the US had a variety of
sanctions against Turkey, including (1975-76) an arms embargo. The
declared purpose of the sanctions was to influence Turkey to settle
the Cyprus issue on grounds favorable to the Greek Cypriot
community and hence to Greece. The sanctions failed to achieve the
goal, largely because of Turkey's objections to what it considered
colonial, imperialistic, and high-handed actions by the US
reminiscent of the British, French, and Russian imperialism of the
19th century. There was also opposition from both left and right to
increased ties with the US. Campany's dissertation deals with a
topic of extreme importance, US-Turkish relations, on which there
is a dearth of material, a lacuna of research, and a lack of good
scholarship.?-Choice
