A The Spectator Book of the Year 2022 A New Statesman Book of the
Year 2022 'An illuminating and riveting read' - Jonathan Dimbleby
Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been
covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to
explain its complex past and its troubled present. In The Making of
the Modern Middle East - in part based on his acclaimed podcast,
'Our Man in the Middle East' - Bowen takes us on a journey across
the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and
women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or benign,
and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked
devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever
their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic
control. With his deep understanding of the political, cultural and
religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan's
Turkey, Assad's Syria and Netanyahu's Israel and his long
experience of covering events in the region, Bowen offers readers a
gripping and invaluable guide to the modern Middle East, how it
came to be and what its future might hold.
