Readers have long relied on William Polk for comprehensive and insightful analysis of the culture and politics of the Arab world. This thoroughly revised and expanded version of earlier editions covers recent developments such as the growth of population, differing rates of industrialization, terrorism, and the impact of Islamic fundamentalism.

Review

It is the depth of Professor Polk's historical and cultural presentation and the breadth of his economic, social, and political analysis that distinguish this volume from the plethora of journalistic commentary on the subject and make it a true 'classic.' (Edwin O. Reischauer, Harvard University)

William Polk has published exactly that solid, illuminating synthesis we have long lacked, and which those studying and acting in public affairs ought to read first about the Arab world. (Manfred Halpern Middle East Journal)

A balanced, extremely informative and fair-minded work. (Jerusalem Post Magazine)
