The year 1958 was a dramatic turning point in the history of the
Middle East and the Arab World: Lebanon was in turmoil; Iraq
underwent revolution. The West-backed King Faisal of Iraq and Crown
Prince Abdallah were deposed and killed by a military coup led by
Abd al-Karim Qasim and the new republic was proclaimed on the 14th
July. Led by Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Arab world seemed to be
splitting from the West and, some claimed, realigning itself with
the communist world. Here is a seminal work by world-class scholars
- required reading for anyone with a serious interest in the recent
history of the region.
