Description

Fully revised and up-dated, this authoritative text now takes into account the considerable developments in the Middle East in the 1990's. As with the first edition, this book explores the emergence of individual Middle Eastern states since the fall of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War. By exploring key topics such as the role of the military, economics and religion and the relationship of each with politics, this book remains an excellent introduction to the modern history and politics of a region that is usually portrayed as mysterious, unpredictable and violent.
