"Western civilization began in the Middle East: Judaism and Christianity, as
well as Islam, were born there. For over a millennium, the Islamic empires were
ahead of the West in learning, technology and medicine, and were militarily far
more powerful. It took another three hundred centuries for the West to catch
up, and overtake, the Middle East.

Why does it seem different now? Why does Osama bin Laden see 1918, with the
fall of the Ottoman Empire, as the year everything changed? These issues are
explained in historical detail here, in a way that deliberately seeks to go
behind the rhetoric to the roots of present conflicts. A Brief History of
the Middle East is essential reading for an intelligent reader wanting to
understand what one of the world's key regions is all about.

Fully updated with a new section on the Iraq Invasion of 2003, the question of
Iran and the full context of the Isreali/Palestine conflict."
