The Makers of the Modern Middle East

4/5 ( ratings)

TG Fraser presents a comprehensive analysis of how the decisions taken at the end of World War I forged a new Middle East. These decisions set in place a pattern which formed the political shape of the region as we know it today, including the popular uprisings witnessed in Egypt and Tunisia in 2011. From the Paris Peace Conference right up to the 2011 clashes in Tahrir Square and Hosni Mubarak’s resignation, Fraser gives a relevant and complete overview in this critical time for the Middle East and its people.

This book explores the complex interactions of the high politics of the conferences with how Arabs, Jews, and Turks created new realities on the ground, often confounding what the statesmen had decided. With events in the Middle East rarely absent from the world’s headlines, this book offers a scholarly and objective analysis of a critical phase in its development.

TG Fraser is professor emeritus of the University of Ulster. He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a Member of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Andrew Mango is the author of the definitive biography of Atatürk as well as The Turks Today .

Robert McNamara is currently a lecturer in international history at the University of Ulster at Coleraine.
