“…once again the premier text for the study of the Middle East…well-written and solidly argued analyses of the most important and crucial developments of Middle Eastern history and politics … could not be timelier. … It will be a favorite of students and professors alike.”—Robert Olson, University of Kentucky “This is a text that breathes life into the history it presents…The authors are not afraid to spell out [complexities] in a style that is at once accessible and gently provocative. This is a text with personality.”—Joel Gordon, University of Arkansas “…I can only offer unmixed praise for the new edition of A Concise History of the Middle East…Their narrative…is sparklingly clear and straightforward for even the ‘general reader.’”—Mark Seifter, LehighCarbonCommunity College The ninth edition of this widely acclaimed text has been extensively revised to reflect the latest scholarship and the most recent events in the Middle East. As an introduction to the history of this turbulent region from the beginnings of Islam to the present day, the book is distinguished by its clear style, broad scope, and balanced treatment. It focuses on the evolution of Islamic institutions and culture, the influence of the West, the modernization efforts of Middle Eastern governments, the struggle of various peoples for political independence, the course of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the reassertion of Islamic values and power, the issues surrounding the Palestinian Question, and the roles of Iraq and Iran in the post-9/11 Middle East.
