| | Amazon.ca: History of the Middle East: Books: Peter Mansfield,Richard Brown (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | In this masterful work, Mansfield explores two centuries of history in the volatile Middle East, creating a revealing political and social portrait. |
 | | Having also read what Mansfield himself considered to be his crowning achievement, "The Arabs", I actually feel that this is a superior work, at least for my purposes. |
 | | Mansfield follows the region from prehistory, through the Ottoman Empire, and into the modern age, explaining events and motivations in a reasonable and straightforward manner. |
