Arap Ülkelerinin Yakın Tarihi
Sovyet Arap tarihçileri okulunun kurucusu olarak kabul edilen, önde gelen Arap tarihi uzmanlarından Vladimir Borisoviç Lutskiy'nin (1906-1962) kaleme aldığı Arap Ülkelerinin Yakın Tarihi, Arapların sistematik bir tarihinin yazılmasına yönelik ilk girişimlerden biridir. Lutskiy bağımsız bir tarih disiplini olarak Arap ülkelerinin modern tarihi alanındaki eğitimine 1930'larda başladı. Kendisini tamamen konusuna adamış hevesli biri olarak, yeni yollar denemekten hiçbir zaman çekinmeyen yazar, haklı olarak Sovyet Arap tarihçileri okulunun kurucusu olarak kabul edilir. Lutskiy, Arap ülkelerinin tarihinin 16. yüzyıldan 20. yüzyıl başındaki I. Dünya Savaşı'na kadar uzanan yaklaşık 500 yıllık bir dönemini ana hatlarıyla ele alır, nirengi noktalarını verir; Arap tarihini sistematikleştirir ve genelleştirir. Lutsky Marksist bir bakış açısıyla yazar. Avrupa devletlerinin sömürgeci politikalarını şiddetle eleştirir ve bu onların Doğu'daki varlıklarının bölgenin kaderi üzerindeki olumsuz etkisini ortaya koyar.
Middle Eastern Themes
This volume, first published in 1973, brings together a wide range of Professor Landau’s work on recent Middle Eastern history and politics, reflecting the breadth of the author’s concern and research.

A little-known plan of the Islamic reformer al-Afghani is discussed, showing him in a rather more political light than the religious haze which normally surrounds this pan-Islamic campaigner. The role of the influential secret societies in modern Egypt is outlined, and the politics behind the fluctuations in the degree of responsibility allowed to Egy...
