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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Concise History of the Middle EastReviewed in the United States on 25 November 2011

One of the better written and easier to follow textbooks that I've read. It would even make a good "leisure read." When the authors used "concise" they weren't kidding. Very thorough compilation of the history of the Middle East from the mid 600s to 2009. A nice job explaining the birth of Islam and the role that it's played in the region since. The timeline in the back of the book has been a lifesaver. Lucky is the student whose professor chooses this text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!Reviewed in the United States on 18 October 2012

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I discovered that much of what I thought I knew about the history of the Middle East was inaccurate - at best. Every American should read this - It will give you a whole new perspective on American intervention in that area of the world, and bring a much better understanding of Islam and the culture of the area. Highly recommended!

Had to get this for a class. I'm a oracious history buff & reader. I found this book very confusing & hard to read. Didn't get much from it. If I were a professor, I would NOT recommend this book to students. On the good side, it didn't seem biased.
