From the publisher

Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award

"Wonderful...No book published in recent years has more lasting relevance to our understanding of the Middle East." --Jack Miles, Los Angeles Book Review

Published with a new afterword from the acclaimed author--the classic, bestselling account of how the modern Middle East was created.

The Middle East has long been a region of rival religions, ideologies, nationalisms, and ambitions. All of these conflicts--including the hostilities between Arabs and Israelis, and the violent challenges posed by Iraq's competing sects--are rooted in the region's political inheritance: the arrangements, unities, and divisions imposed by the Allies after the First World War.

In A Peace to End All Peace, David Fromkin reveals how and why the Allies drew lines on an empty map that remade the geography and politics of the Middle East. Focusing on the formative years of 1914 to 1922, when all seemed possible, he delivers in this sweeping and magisterial book the definitive account of this defining time, showing how the choices narrowed and the Middle East began along a road that led to the conflicts and confusion that continue to this day.

A new afterword from Fromkin, written for this edition of the book, includes his invaluable, updated assessment of this region of the world today, and on what this history has to teach us.

Solid, square, clean, unmarked book in excellent condition. The critically acclaimed account of how the modern Middle East emerged from decisions made by the Allies during and after World War I. The Middle East is what it is today both because the European powers undertook to reshape it and because Britain and France failed to ensure that the dynasties, the states and the political systems that they established would last. During and after WW I the Allies destroyed the old order in the region, the Ottoman Empire, irrevocably, and smashed Turkish rule of the Arabic-speaking Middle East. In its place they created countries, with boundaries, which was alien to that culture. The settlement of 1922 settled their fate, and we have what we have today. An excellent book for anyone wanting to have a better understanding of… Read more
