OK, this book is long. But so is the history of the Middle East. This book provides clear, insightful perspective into a very complex region that commands a certain understanding given its impact on the modern life. I highly recommend this book; I'm reading it for the second time and will probably read it a third as well. It's that detailed, and like any comprehensive historical treatment it's in the re-reads that you begin to piece together the key events that this book does such a great job of placing into a modern context.
A more-than-thorough history (500+ pages) of the Arab people from the defeat of the Mamluks by the Ottomans in 1516 until the present day. Eugene Rogan is an excellent writer, and despite its length, the book is not stuffy, boring or hard to read. Especially when you get to the modern era, which dominates the latter half of the book, Rogan is amazingly evenhanded and non-judgemental -- this is particularly impressive when you consider he is dealing with topics like the Arab-Israeli conflict and Palestinian rights and religious/sectarian conflicts in Lebanon and Syria. The book certainly added to my understanding of the current conflicts in the Middle East and how intractable the situation is.I have one major complaint: the book needs an easily referred to, serious timeline. Because the book generally covers topics in a regional manner, it is hard to relate what is happening in Egypt, say, at the time of Sadat's assassination, with what is going on in Lebanon (civil war) or the Iraq-Iran war. A good timeline would increase my rating to 5-stars.And as much as I liked this book and learned a lot, I have to say, I liked his other book, The Fall of the Ottomans, even more.
The author seems to be confused between the 'Arabs' and the 'Arabized' peoples of Greater Syria, Iraq and Egypt which this book is mostly about. The author himself points to events where the inhabitants of these regions could not wait to rid themselves of the last repressive Arab ruler when they openly collaborated with and helped the Ottoman Turks defeat the last of the so called Arab rulers "The Mamluks".The beginning of the book is excellent but as you get closer to the middle the book becomes totally disjointed and the materials presented become irrelevant to the main thesis of the book. In short this book is not about the Arabs, it is about the Arabized peoples of the Middle East whom many historians inadvertently insult their rich history, culture and contribution to humanity by referring to them as Arabs.
First the bad: it should be titled “The Arabs: From Ottoman rule to the 21st Centuryâ€, beacause that’s where it starts. Nothing about the origins of the ethnicity, the rise of Islam or the Arab conquest and subsequent empire. Also, it more or less downplays the defects of Arab societies and governments. It seemed to me that the author was assuming that readers were well aware of the faults of Arab culture through history, and he was endeavoring, though not fanatically so, to show a Western reader the flip side.That said, to me it was a worthwhile read. Informative without being overwhelmingly so, well written in a flowing style, not in the dry, technical language of the professional historian.
Very thorough and informative. A bit confusing with all the names. Could have used a glossary of names at beginning of chapters and maybe timelines ad well to keep what was happening in various countries at same time.
A thorough and decently readable history of the Arab culture. I would call this a "modern" history as it starts in what most would consider modern history, however that was all OK with me. The last third of the book is heavily based around the Arab/Israeli conflict, perhaps rightly, but that should be known to prospective readers. Given the difficulty of summarizing modern Arab history in less than 600 pages, it is not surprising that certain parts of the Arab world will be given less of a focus, but I was surprised with the lack of pretty much any ink devoted to the Arabian peninsula other than Saudi Arabia. Overall, a very in depth and necessary read.
