Understanding the Contemporary Middle East

Understanding the Contemporary Middle East

by Jillian Schwedler (Editor), Deborah J. Gerner (Editor)

Synopsis

The third edition of Understanding the Contemporary Middle East includes two entirely new chapters, one on religion and politics and one on the economies of the Middle East, as well as a greatly expanded discussion of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In addition, all of the chapters have been fully updated. Maps, photographs, and tables of basic political data enhance the text, which has already made its place as the best available introduction to the region.
