Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First American Edition. First American Edition, stated. Hard cover binding, 506 pp. "In Sowing the Wind: The Seeds of Conflict in the Middle East, John Keay, as his subtitle promises, wants to answer the big question, about why the Middle East has produced so much conflict?and been at the receiving end of so much. His scope is impressive: he ranges from the dying Ottoman Empire before the First World War to the emergence of a new Egypt under Gamel Abdel Nasser after the Second. And he brings in wonderful characters? Lawrence of Arabia, of course, but also figures like the civil engineer who became the biggest contractor in Iraq and married one of two identical twin sisters, though no one ever knew which. Keay, the author of several books on the British Empire, tells a good story."(NYTimes). New in dustjacket.

Hardback. Condition: Fine. First Thus. 2016 First Thus. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Fine slipcase. Introduced by Robert Fisk. Troubling, fascinating and accessible, this is an outstanding account of how the Middle East was shaped by Western interests. This edition features contemporary photographs and a new foreword by one of today's most respected journalists. Bound in printed and blocked cloth. Set in Guardi. 536 pages. Frontispiece and 32 pages of black & white plates; 4 maps. 10" x 6¾". Never has there been a greater need for us to understand the political, economic and religious agendas that, taking root shortly before the First World War, have engulfed the Middle East in relentless conflict. The rights, ambitions and beliefs of the people indigenous to this volatile region have been courted, manipulated, appropriated and denied perhaps more than those of any other on earth both by their own ruling classes and by Western powers. The 'tangled web of British commitments' on the future of the region between the crucial period of 1900 to 1960, whose many threads included the concerns of France, Germany and the United States, interwoven with the manifold interests of the Arabs and Jews, sealed rifts and resentments that have only increased in their resistance to reconciliation. John Keay's even-handed and approachable book relates this tragic history before closing with an epilogue that culminates at the Gulf War and 9/11. This Folio edition includes a foreword by Robert Fisk, the Middle East correspondent for The Independent, and a wealth of illuminating photographs and maps. As Keay notes, it is often difficult to gauge the degree of intention behind the obfuscations and deceits enacted by the imperial powers, but it is certain that many Arabs were offered 'dream palaces' as insubstantial as sand. Charting the alliances, rebellions and land divisions that determined the Middle East's precarious contemporary shape, and examining figures such as T. E. Lawrence and Theodor Herzl, this is essential reading for anyone interested in the background to the humanitarian crises, atrocities and political dilemmas that confront the modern world.

In particular, he is widely seen as a pre-eminent historian of British India.

The author of some twenty-five books, he also writes regularly for a number of prominent publications in Britain and Asia. He began his career with The Economist. He has received several major honours including the Sir Percy Sykes Memorial Medal.
