Araby.Istoriia.KhVI-XXI vv. - Rogan Iudzhin

The Arab revolutions of 2011 took the world community by surprise. After decades of stability under autocratic regimes, the Arab world seemed to suddenly find itself in a whirlwind of rapid and radical change. Meanwhile, there is no better way to predict the future than to look into the past. It was on this path went the outstanding British historian Eugene Rogan. His book describes the history of the Arab states of North Africa, the Fertile Crescent and the Arabian Peninsula dating back to the 16th century. Of particular interest is the detailed account of the turning points in the history of the Arab world in the 20th century. In his work, the author draws on a wide range of Arab sources, including numerous eyewitness accounts: historians, intellectuals, politicians, journalists, writers, ordinary men and women. This not only will we learn the history of the Arab world, but we get to see it through the eyes of the Arabs themselves, the people who created it. The book is addressed to all those who are interested in the past and present of the Arab countries and want to understand the origins of the significant events that are taking place in the Middle East and throughout the Arab world today.
