In an interview with the Middle East Studies Pedagogy Initiative, Berman discussed his desire for this book to shine a light on an under discussed piece of American history. The book sheds light on several influential Americans, including members of the small Arab-American community who intellectually, politically, and financially participated in the construction of Arab nationalism. Through extensive archival research, Berman provides a detailed analysis of the internal dynamics of the Arab nationalist movement in the United States. Examining the complex relationship between Arab nationalists, Americans, and the struggle for independence, Berman offers insights into a topic that has been largely unexplored by historians. Berman, a Hampshire College professor emeritus of history and alum, recently published the book America's Arab Nationalists: From the Ottoman Revolution to the Rise of Hitler.
