The Shaping of the Modern Middle East
Bok av Bernard Lewis
This classic work by the leading Middle-East scholar of our time offers a definitive, insightful, and now more-timely- than-ever history of Western-Middle Eastern relations from the late seventeenth century to the present day. Fully revised to cover the volatile developments of the last three decades, The Shaping of the Modern Middle East sheds light on the climax and sudden end of the Cold War, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Arab-Israeli wars,
the formation and activities of the PLO, the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, the Persian Gulf War, and the Iranian revolution.
