{"product_id":"making-the-modern-middle-east-t-g-fraser-9781909942998","title":"Making the Modern Middle East: Second Edition","description":"A century ago, as World War I got underway, the Middle East was dominated, as it had been for centuries, by the Ottoman Empire. But by 1923, its political shape had changed beyond recognition, as the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the insistent claims of Arab and Turkish nationalism and Zionism led to a redrawing of borders and shuffling of alliances--a transformation whose consequences are still felt today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This fully revised and updated second edition of \u003ci\u003eMaking the Modern Middle East\u003c\/i\u003e traces those changes and the ensuing history of the region through the rest of the twentieth century and on to the present. Focusing in particular on three leaders--Emir Feisal, Mustafa Kemal, and Chaim Weizmann--the book offers a clear, authoritative account of the region seen from a transnational perspective, one that enables readers to understand its complex history and the way it affects present-day events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e T.
