Modern Middle East History (Hardcover Book)

"James Gelvin's book is arguably the best work on modern Middle Eastern history. Comprehensive, clear, nuanced and up-to-date, it is also very enjoyable to read. It is well-written and easy to read not only for students but also for the general reader." "I recommend Gelvin's book without hesitation to anyone who wants to understand what happened in the region from the last period of the Ottoman Empire to the present day. Anyone who wants to understand what is happening in the region today should definitely read this book."
-Zachary Lockman-New York University-

"Gelvin's book is one of the best studies of modern Middle Eastern history. Its greatest merit is that it draws the reader into what is truly most exciting about that history by opening up a discussion of the reasons behind the dramatic developments in the region. Gelvin also explores not only political elites but also social classes and major social movements." "Gelvin's book is one of the best basic texts for understanding today's Middle East."
-Juan Cole-University of Michigan-
