- Book Synopsis
- Contested Lands tells the story of the Middle East since the First World War, with a focus on the region's sporadic conflicts and underlying socio-economic change. T. G. Fraser explores the damaging legacies of imperialism; the creation of the State of Israel; the competition between secular, autocratic rulers and emerging democratic and theocratic forces; and the rise and fall of Arab nationalism in the face of fraying regional alliances and the Islamic revival. Against this backdrop comes the twenty-first century, marked by 9/11, the Arab Spring, the conflict in Syria, and the Israel-Hamas war. Untangling the threads of history in the Middle East, Fraser weaves a detailed and insightful tapestry of a troubled region nd its ongoing centrality to world events.
