Anotace
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.
