Over the centuries the Middle East has confounded the dreams of conquerors and
peacemakers alike. This now-classic book, fully updated to 2009, follows the
historic struggles of the region over the last two hundred years, from
Napoleon's assault on Egypt, through the slow decline and fall of the Ottoman
Empire, to the painful emergence of modern nations, the Palestinian question and
Islamic resurgence.
For this third edition, Economist journalist and Middle East correspondent
Nicolas Pelham has written an extensive new chapter examining recent
developments throughout the Middle East, including the invasions of Iraq and
Afghanistan, the situation in Iran, the continuing Arab-Israeli conflict and
relations with the US under President Obama.
