## Description

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.
'An excellent political overview' Guardian

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book
*by  on Reviewed in India 24 March 2026*

Quality of printing is excellent. No flaw in anything related to book cover page, pages or printing. Content has well covered the subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very poor page quality
*by  on Reviewed in India 4 February 2022*

Is this a Penguin book? I doubt. I think it's a fake print because the page quality is very poor. While I'd seen a couple of reviews on these lines but decided to purchase it because the Book is what it is - superb! I'm not returning it, because I don't see any other publishers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great analysis of the Middle East history
*by  on Reviewed in India 26 March 2021*

Excellent analysis of historical facts and their present consequences not only on the particular region but entire globe. The history of Ottoman empire, the greatest Muslim dynasty of world, its downfall and emergence of new world order after the two world war, which entirely changed the middle east region, was very informative to understand the current turmoil of the region. The influence of European powers in the region aggravated the problems instead of resolving them. Thanks to writers for a true and unbiased analysis of historical facts.
