Rezensionen

"A clear and concise guide to the complex history of the Middle East from the rise of Islam to the fall of ISIS, Goldschmidt and Marashi have written the essential text for all newcomers to Middle Eastern studies."

Eugene Rogan, University of Oxford, United Kingdom

"Arthur Goldschmidt Jr. and Ibrahim Al-Marashi have refined, updated, and ultimately revamped the scholarly edifice that Goldschmidt first crafted more than 40 years ago. This edition makes the complexities of the Middle East's history accessible to yet another generation of students in the light of new scholarship and momentous recent developments in the region."
