| Summary: |
This book takes a novel look at the modern Middle East through the prisms of six cascading negative critical turning points. It identifies the seeds of a potential seventh in the collective dignity deficits generated by poor governance paradigms and exacerbated by geopolitical competition for the region's natural resources. 'At long last a book on the Middle East which is free from the usual Western stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims. Dr Nayef Al-Rodhan is a distinguished neuroscientist and geostrategist with an intimate knowledge of the Middle East and genuine empathy for its people. The result is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book on an eventual century in Middle Eastern history.' -- Professor Avi Shlaim, FBA, St Antony's College, University of Oxford, UK. |
