Conflicts in the middle east since 1945

Giving a much-needed historical overview, this second edition of a successfulbook analyzes the nature of conflict in the Middle East, with its racial, ethnic, political, cultural, religious and economic factors. This second edition brings the book right up-to-date and includes: an examination of the effects of 9/11 on the Middle East peace process; Bush's war on terrorism; an updated discussion of the superpower conflict in the Middle East and the Kurdish situation; and a new chapter covering the recent war in Iraq. Also putting the main conflicts in to their wider context with a thematic debate of issues such as the emergence of radical Islam, the resolution of conflicts, diplomacy and peace-making and the role of the superpowers, this will follow in the footsteps ofits predecessor and will become a key publication in the study of the Middle East. INDICE: 'The tone of the book is one of detachment based on a deep understanding of the situations in the Middle East ... [A] masterly synthesis.' - "The Old Radleian" '[A] rigourous but accessible overview.' - "BBC History Magazine" 'My students are really enjoying the 'Conflicts' book. I have had a numberof them email me to specifically say how much they are enjoying reading it asa textbook.'" - Dr Victoria Mason, University of Wellington
