A History of the Middle East: 5th Edition

Quality of printing is excellent. No flaw in anything related to book cover page, pages or printing. Content has well covered the subject.

Is this a Penguin book? I doubt. I think it's a fake print because the page quality is very poor. While I'd seen a couple of reviews on these lines but decided to purchase it because the Book is what it is - superb! I'm not returning it, because I don't see any other publishers.

Excellent analysis of historical facts and their present consequences not only on the particular region but entire globe. The history of Ottoman empire, the greatest Muslim dynasty of world, its downfall and emergence of new world order after the two world war, which entirely changed the middle east region, was very informative to understand the current turmoil of the region. The influence of European powers in the region aggravated the problems instead of resolving them. Thanks to writers for a true and unbiased analysis of historical facts.

Nice book ...good knowledgeable things

After many tries, got hand on the book, but it left me disappointed, the paper quality is bad, had returned it once for the same reason but again received the same paper quality. That just makes reading experience not worth the excitement. Charge high price but at least provide good quality paperback.

good book

It's a secondhand book; I have no problem with secondhand books, but the seller must disclose correct facts about the book.It's unfortunate.The book is classic, no doubt in every paragraph, on every page, the brilliance of Mansfield and Pelham is evident.Scribbling all over.But the seller's approach is unethical.

Paper quality could have been improved.

​I really enjoyed this book. It is exceptionally well-researched, packed with fascinating insights, and surprisingly fast-paced. A compelling read that never gets boring.

osmanlidan akp-katar iliskilerine kadar her seye deginilmis. Tarih derslerinde okutmalik bir kitap ariyorsaniz o kitap bu degil. Yani sadece filistin israil catismasi 4-5 kitap edecegi icin bu kitabi yuzeysel bir giris olarak dusunup alabilirsiniz. Icindeki bilgilerin yarisini zaten biliyor olacaksiniz eger orta dogudaki bir ulkede yasiyorsaniz

The author presents a mass of information on the evolution of Middle East politics, with each other and with the outside world but the book remains readable. He brings out the importance of the different factions both within and across the countries of the region, which is a great aid to getting to grips with current developments.

Great book works as advertised!

Very good content for who wants to dive into the history of several countries of MENA. It can be dense for some people. It has served as an introduction to the subject for me, which deserves further studies from MENA authors.
