THE THIRD EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, REVISED AND
UPDATED 'A rich, galloping narrative that spans the Arab
world...outstanding, gripping and exuberant...full of flamboyant
character sketches, witty asides and magisterial scholarship, that
explains much of what we need to know about the world today' Simon
Sebag Montefiore 'Anyone who seeks to understand why the Islamic
world bears a grudge against the West should read The Arabs' Sir
Alaistair Horne Starting with the Ottoman conquests in the
sixteenth century, this landmark book follows the story of the
Arabs through the era of European imperialism and the Superpower
rivalries of the Cold War, to the present age of unipolar American
power. Drawing on the writings and eyewitness accounts of those who
lived through the tumultuous years of Arab history, The Arabs
balances different voices - politicians, intellectuals, students,
men and women, poets and novelists, famous, infamous and the
completely unknown - to give a rich, complex sense of life over
nearly five centuries. Rogan's book is remarkable for its
geographical sweep, covering the Arab world from North Africa
through the Arabian Peninsula, and for the depth in which it
explores every facet of modern Arab history. Charting the evolution
of Arab identity from Ottomanism to Arabism to Islamism, it covers
themes including the conflict between national independence and
foreign domination, the Arab-Israeli struggle and the peace
process, Abdel Nasser and the rise of Arab Nationalism, the
political and economic power of oil and the conflict between
secular and Islamic values. This multilayered, fascinating and
definitive work is the essential guide to understanding the history
of the modern Arab world - and its future.
