سلام ما بعده سلام

David Fromkin

The critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling account of how the modern Middle East came into being after World War I, and why it is in upheaval today In our time the Middle East has proven a battleground of rival religions, ideologies, nationalisms, and dynasties. All of these conflicts, including the hostilities between Arabs and Israelis that have flared yet again, come down, in a sense, to the extent to which the Middle East will continue to live with its political inheritance: the arrangements, unities, and divisions imposed upon the region by the Allies after the First World War. In A Peace to End All Peace, David Fromkin reveals how and why the Allies came to remake the geography and politics of the Middle East, drawing lines on an empty map that eventually became the new countries of Iraq, Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon. Focusing on the formative years of 1914 to 1922, when all-even an alliance between Arab nationalism and Zionism-seemed possible he raises questions about what might have been done differently, and answers questions about why things were done as they were. The current battle for a Palestinian homeland has its roots in these events of 85 years ago.

The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East

A Peace to End All Peace

A interesting and highly enjoyable book, for History fans, trying to sum up the events in the Middle East during 1st world War and shortly after and the implications thereof which are still remaining to this day. This area of the world is seldom covered in this detail in History class and for me a lot of new knowledge was gained from reading it.

The Ottoman Empire's involvement in WWI, let alone their entire existence, is something that is never covered in the American school system. It was a fascinating read to learn about an entirely different part of WWI and a massive part of history that is rarely referenced elsewhere. It is written in a comprehensible and enjoyable manner that makes for a much easier read than anticipated. Fromkin does a great job of cover all aspects of the region and era. Considering this book was published in 1989, It is still a great resource for gaining a better understanding of our modern world and contemporary Middle Eastern issues.
