This comprehensive survey analyzes political, social, cultural, and economic developments in the Middle East from the Ottoman and Safavid Empires to the present day. Cleveland lays the groundwork for this modern history by describing the roots of Islamic civilization in ancient times and tracing the relationship between distinctly Middle Eastern perspectives and the broader global developments of the twentieth century.
