Description
The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East The Middle East has long been a region of complex rivalries and ambitions. The conflicts that continue to shape the region today have their roots in the arrangements imposed by the Allies after the First World War. In this book, David Fromkin reveals how and why the Allies drew lines on an empty map, remaking the geography and politics of the Middle East. Fromkin focuses on the formative years of 1914 to 1922, when the choices made during this period had a lasting impact on the region. He delivers a sweeping and magisterial account of this defining time, showing how the choices narrowed and the Middle East began along a road that led to the conflicts and confusion of today. A new afterword from Fromkin includes his updated assessment of the region and what this history has to teach us.
