Description
In the aftermath of World War I, the decisions made in distant capitals reshaped the Middle East for generations—often with little regard for the realities on the ground. Drawing on history, diplomacy, and intelligence failures, this account traces how competing interests, flawed information, and deliberate political maneuvering helped produce a settlement whose consequences still echo today. From the collapse of empires to the drawing of borders and the creation of mandates, the book reveals how “peace” was negotiated as much through calculation and inconsistency as through principle. With Fromkin’s incisive, narrative-driven style, readers gain a clear, high-level understanding of the forces that turned wartime promises into a lasting, contested order.
