Reviews
"This is the third edition of a classic made all the more popular as we try to understand the origins of today's Middle East with its wars, hatreds, dictatorships, genocides and infamous new caliphates that hold nothing but terror for those who will not bow the knee to jihadi dogma." ( Unrv.com , 1 January 2016) "For these reasons and for many more, this volume deserves considerable praise and lasting admiration." ( RBECS.org , 27 December 2015)
