Recenzii
Packing concise history with solid analysis, it is an excellent reference for anyone who wants an overview of how war has and continues to shape this region of the world.
The author's in-depth research and use of primary sources result in a vivid narrative that covers military tactics and the state of the political arena within each time period discussed. An extensive bibliography and several maps lend context and provide resources for further research. Laden with quotes and excerpts from military documents, McNabb's chronological presentation of the content gives students an easy way to seek out material on a particular segment of Middle Eastern military history. VERDICT Best for academic libraries with extensive military history collections and graduate programs.
The book goes beyond mere historical narratives to provide an analytical context on various topics such as the impact of technology on the Middle East conflict, the role of politics, the rivalry of the Great Powers and its cold war, and the continued influence of religion and ethnic and tribal hatred on never-ending conflicts in the region.
McNabb covers the key religious and cultural dynamics that have driven events in the region for the last 220 years. In addition, he examines the commonalities and synergies between elite interests, factionalism, and the problem of development within the region as it relates to conflict and military decision making. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
Overall, this is a superb book if one seeks to understand the history of military affairs in the Middle East, which ultimately has shaped the region's politics. The author does not spare any details regarding key operations and has an engaging writing style. McNabb has not only traced the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire, the consequences and the events that followed, but he makes the reader understand how the history influenced the shape of Middle Eastern affairs in the modern era. In closing, A Military History of the Modern Middle East well deserves a place on the scholar-practitioner's bookshelf.
This book is an exceptionally detailed, comprehensive examination of military matters in the Middle East that will influence current and future strategists.
