An introduction in narrative form to the chief elements in Middle Eastern history, enabling readers to progress into more specialized topics and themes. There is coverage of all parts of the central and peripheral Middle East, with discussion of social, economic, gender and religious history.
This is an excellent, excellent book for the topic and coverage. Easily accessible and clearly written and organized, it is a pleasure to read. Some assumptions are made, but the short glossary can eliminate most of the problems with terms and vocabulary. The worst part is that there is not an updated version available in the two volume format. The authors do a superb job of linking themes, issues and personalities across the temporal and topographical space.
