Review:
"I can’t remember a better general book on the whole region" – The New Statesman
"William Polk, a professional in history and diplomacy ... manages to simplify without distorting the region’s problems of war and peace, of wealth and poverty, and of adaptation to the modern world, setting them against a background of political and cultural history" – Foreign Affairs
