The Elusive Peace (Routledge Revivals) : The Middle East in the Twentieth Century PDF
by William Polk
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Description
The Elusive Peace, first published in 1979, highlights the crucial developments in the Middle East during the twentieth century: the coming of nationalism, the struggle for independence, the effects of the Cold War and the four ‘hot wars’ in the Middle East.
The numerous attempts to solve the conflicts, and the ultimate failure of such attempts, are discussed with particular reference to the war in Lebanon, and its relation to larger conflicts.
As an American emissary during the Kennedy, Johnston and Nixon years, William Polk is unique in his ability to assess the key personalities and provide thorough analysis, considering Sadat and Begin, and the American policies of Dulles and Kissinger.
This is a fascinating and inclusive study which provides essential background to the on-going turmoil in the Middle East.
