The Modern Middle East by James L Gelvin
The Modern Middle East provides a fully updated and complete history of Middle Eastern societies from the early modern period of the 16th century to today, situating the region in historical and global contexts. With use of a maps, photos, and primary documents, it shows how Middle Eastern history is connected and parallel to world history.
By far the most engaging survey of the history of the modern Middle East that I have read in a long time.. clearly written, often humorous, accessible to students and non-specialists and theoretically sophisticated. Dina Rizk Khoury, George Washington University
