Peter Mansfield

    Peter Mansfield byl britský politický novinář, který se po rezignaci z britské diplomatické služby v roce 1956, která byla reakcí na Suezskou krizi, zaměřil na žurnalistiku. Působil v Bejrútu, kde redigoval Middle East Forum, a pravidelně přispíval do předních britských i indických novin. Jeho práce se soustředila na politické dění na Blízkém východě, o čemž svědčí jeho působení jako blízkovýchodního korespondenta deníku The Sunday Times.

One of the most crucial, volatile, and complex regions of the modern world, the Middle East has long confounded the dreams of conquerors and peacemakers alike. This now-classic book, fully updated to 2012 and still the essential work on the subject, follows the historic struggles of the Middle East from Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and Syria, through the slow decline and fall of the Ottoman Empire, to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the history of Islam and its recent resurgence. For this fourth edition, Economist correspondent Nicolas Pelham contributes an extensive new section examining recent developments throughout the Middle East, including the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, the situation in Iran, the region's relations with the United States under President Obama, the Arab Spring, and more"--Provided by publisher.
