土耳其武器禁运：毒品、种族游说和美国国内政治

1974年8月，当理查德·尼克松辞职，杰拉尔德·福特开始与国会就行政权力展开长期斗争时，塞浦路斯发生了一场危机。希腊军政府不顾一切地通过外交政策的胜利来支撑其日益下降的支持率，试图推翻这个独立岛国的政府。作为回应，土耳其共和国入侵塞浦路斯，以保护土族塞人。这次入侵导致了雅典军政府的垮台，美国开始对其盟友土耳其实施武器禁运，两国之间多年的紧张关系和不信任加剧。
詹姆斯·F·古德（James F.Goode）在他的书中对导致1975-1978年土耳其武器禁运的实施和持续的复杂因素进行了革命性的分析。他证明，单是围绕入侵的人权问题无法解释由此产生的美土隔阂。相反，他认为，包括根深蒂固的“土耳其恐惧症”、对美国致命海洛因疫情的日益担忧，以及亲希腊的游说团体在加剧紧张局势和延长禁运方面发挥了重要作用。
古德利用杰拉尔德·福特和吉米·卡特总统图书馆的最新档案材料，以及国会主要议员经常被忽视的个人文件，对这一事件进行了迄今为止最完整的分析。这一及时的研究不仅会改变这一时期的理解，而且会为中东和未来国际关系的未来提供有价值的见解。
The Turkish Arms Embargo: Drugs, Ethnic Lobbies, and US Domestic Politics
In August 1974, while Richard Nixon resigned and Gerald Ford began a prolonged battle with Congress over executive power, a crisis was occurring in Cyprus. Desperate to shore up its declining popularity with a foreign policy triumph, the military government of Greece tried to overthrow the government of the independent island nation. In response, the Republic of Turkey invaded Cyprus in order to protect Turkish Cypriots. The invasion led to the downfall of the junta in Athens, the beginning of a United States embargo on arms sales to its ally Turkey, and years of increased tension and mistrust between the two nations.
In his book,James F. Goode offers a revolutionary analysis of the complex factors leading to the imposition and continuance of the 1975–1978 Turkish Arms Embargo. He demonstrates that, alone, the human rights issues surrounding the invasion fail to explain the resulting US-Turkish estrangement. Instead, he contends, factors including deep-seated “Turkophobia,” growing concern about a deadly heroin epidemic in the United States, and pro-Greek lobbies played important roles in heightening tensions and extending the embargo.
Goode draws on newly available archival materials from the Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter Presidential Libraries as well as the often-overlooked personal papers of key congressmen to present the most complete analysis of the affair to date. This timely study will not only change how this period is understood, but it will also provide valuable insights into the future of international relations in the Middle East and beyond.
