A Concise History of the Middle East, Eleventh Edition by Aomar Boum
A straightforward, chronological narrative of the history of the Middle East a classic in its field.
Praise for the Ninth Edition: "This is a text that breathes life into the history it presentsThe authors both care deeply about the region--and both recognize the responsibility of their American readers (their primary readers) to understand, and in a general sense sympathize, with the life struggles of the people whose history they present--and whose history has become increasingly intertwined with American global interests, often times, as they recognize and relate, to the detriment of people in the Middle East. The authors are not afraid to spell out these complexities in a style that is at once accessible and gently provocative. This is a text with personality." --Joel Gordon, University of Arkansas "Our students and faculty alike have found this to be a well-organized, comprehensive, balanced, and exceptionally readable textbook. The authors blend significant historical detail with timely political analysis in a cogent style that is compelling and lucid. The addition of frequent biographical sketches and side-bars on major events or political terms bring additional features that make this a compelling and one of a kind introduction to the Middle East." --Donald Wagner, North Park University, Chicago Praise for the Tenth Edition:
