As the birthplace of three principal religions, the Middle East is
holy to 15 million Jews, 2 billion Christians, and 1 billion
Muslims. As the cradle of western civilization, it is fundamental
to world history, the place where humans transformed themselves
from nomadic hunters to settled farmers capable of building great
cities and societies. This detailed history covers the Middle East
from its ancient beginnings to the present. The confluence of
events that produced civilized society is fully discussed, along
with the establishment of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The
emergence and decline of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, which
laid much of the framework for the region to move into the modern
era, is covered in depth. Analysis of the area in recent decades
focuses on World War I and II and the regional conflicts that
inflame the Middle East of the 21st century.
