With the additional threat of terrorism, nuclear weapons, a large U.S. military presence, and the Arab-Israeli conflict, the result is an impressively busy intelligence industry, proportionately larger and more extensive than in most other regions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHistorical Dictionary of Middle East Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e addresses intelligence issues in the region from ancient history and the Middle Ages through modern times, covering the decline of the Ottoman Empire, intelligence activity in the Middle East during and between the two world wars, and the interplay between colonial and local intelligence and counterintelligence agencies of the period. It also presents the relatively new fundamentalist terrorist organizations that have had a significant impact on international relations and on the structure and deployment of intelligence, counterintelligence, and other security organs in the Middle East today. With a chronology, an introductory essay, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important events and key organizations involved in all aspects of intelligence gathering and analysis, as well as the biographies of key players, this is an important reference on the current situation in the Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ephraim Kahana,Muhammad Suwaed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081085953X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810859531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scarecrow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.60w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2009 pg. 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 296","brand":"Ephraim Kahana","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435699908863,"sku":"9780810859531","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e39bcfa-20d2-4eb8-b26b-94af5b94fea1.jpg?v=1777152117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-dictionary-of-middle-eastern-ephraim-kahana-9780810859531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
