The Middle East has been-and will continue to be-a major influence on policy around the globe. This work reviews the impact of past epochs on the modern Middle East and analyzes key military events that contributed to forming the region and its people. By helping readers recognize historical patterns of conflict, the book will stimulate a greater understanding of the Middle East as it exists today. The work probes cause and effect in major conflicts that include the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the World Wars, the Arab-Israeli wars, and the U.S. wars with Iraq, examining the manner in which military operations have been conducted by both internal and external actors. New regional groups-for example, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-are addressed, and pertinent events in Afghanistan and Pakistan are scrutinized. Since military affairs are traditionally an extension of politics and economics, the three are considered together in historical context as they relate to war and peace. The book closes with a chapter on the Arab Awakening and its impact on the future balance of power."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 7 $a Military history $z Middle East. $2 sears 651 7 $a Middle East $x History. $2 sears 651 7 $a Middle East $x Politics of government. $2 sears 651 7 $a Middle East $x Economic policies. $2 sears 941 $a 1 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20240815012740.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF17F52E5ACB11EF8988715045ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
