Keay (known for his best-selling history of India) focuses on the hard-core countries of the Middle East known as the fertile crescent: Egypt, Jordan, Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. Keay's account is absolutely riveting as he follows the West's manipulation, management, and mismanagement of the Middle East from 1900 up through the ascent of Arafat to power in the early 1960s. He ends with a forty-page tour-de-force update of the last forty years of American negotiation of economic and political fault lines in the Middle East." "Keay's sweeping history pre-Balfour to post-Suez unearths a host of surprising firsts, from the Gulf's first "gusher" to the first aerial assault on Baghdad, the first of Syria's innumerable coups, and the first terrorist outrages and suicide bombers."--BOOK JACKET. 0aArab-Israeli conflict. 0aMiddle East.  2ddccBK  c90833d90833  00102ddc406956_040000000000000_KES708NFIC9151708aDULbDULcGENd2016-07-31epurchasedo956.04 KESp445471r2016-07-31w2016-07-31yBK
