Summary

Explores the underlying theme of unity in diversity, utilizing a mix of documents--including photographs, posters, diaries, diplomatic records, archival sources, and literary works. Offers a compromise between conventional political and diplomatic histories and those focusing on social and cultural history. The authors demonstrate how the Middle East and North Africa have participated in and shaped the grand currents of global history during the past two centuries. --From back cover
