Description

Gain a deep understanding of Middle Eastern history with The Elusive Peace (Routledge Revivals). Originally published in 1979, this work examines the major shifts that shaped the region throughout the twentieth century. From the rise of nationalism and the fight for independence to the impact of the Cold War, this book provides a detailed look at the forces that defined an era. Author William Polk offers a unique perspective based on his experience as an American emissary during the Kennedy, Johnston, and Nixon administrations. His firsthand knowledge allows for a direct assessment of key personalities and political movements. The text explores the four hot wars in the Middle East and analyzes the various attempts to resolve these conflicts, including a specific look at the war in Lebanon and its connection to broader regional struggles. This Routledge Revival edition is an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the political evolution of the Middle East. It provides a clear look at why peace remained so difficult to achieve during this transformative century.
