The definitive history of the Middle East, now updated in its fifth edition
'The best overall survey of the politics, regional rivalries and economics of
the contemporary Arab world' Washington Post
Over the centuries the Middle East has confounded the dreams of conquerors and
peacemakers alike. This now-classic book 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. It is now fully updated with extensive new material
examining recent developments including the aftermaths of the 'Arab Spring', the
continuing Arab-Israeli conflict and the Syrian and Yemeni civil wars.
