Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East - 2nd Edition by Edmund Burke & David Yaghoubian (Paperback)

This book provides a unique perspective on Middle Eastern history by focusing on the lives of ordinary men and women from Morocco to Afghanistan, spanning over 160 years.

Twenty-four brief biographies offer vantage points for understanding modern Middle Eastern history "from the bottom up," challenging elite-centered accounts and illuminating previously hidden corners of a largely unrecorded world.

With an updated and revised second edition, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the region's complex history.
