Description

The Elusive Peace examines pivotal developments across the Middle East during the twentieth century, tracing the rise of nationalism, independence movements, Cold War dynamics, and four major regional conflicts. Originally published in 1979, this Routledge Revivals edition provides authoritative analysis of peace-building attempts and their outcomes, with particular emphasis on the Lebanese conflict and its connections to broader geopolitical struggles. Drawing on unique insider perspective from diplomatic service during the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations, this work offers critical assessment of key historical figures and decision-making processes that shaped Middle Eastern affairs throughout the modern era.

Key Features

The Elusive Peace covers nationalism and independence movements as defining forces in twentieth-century Middle Eastern politics and regional identity.

This Routledge Revivals edition examines Cold War influence and four major hot wars that reshaped the Middle East throughout the modern period.

The text provides detailed analysis of conflict resolution attempts and explores why diplomatic efforts ultimately failed to achieve lasting peace.

Author William Polk's experience as an American emissary during three presidential administrations informs assessments of key personalities and diplomatic decisions.

Particular focus on the Lebanese conflict and its relationship to larger regional and international power dynamics offers contextual understanding of interconnected Middle Eastern crises.
