Middle East Perspectives
Take a journey through the Middle East, examining the dynamics that made it a lightning rod for political controversy, religious dissension, and violence between 1968 and 1988. Born in Egypt and educated there and in Beirut, Lebanon, author Bassil A. Mardelli has a unique perspective on the issues that continue to affect the region. He explores the region, from the deserts of Sinai to the highlands of the Golan, before moving on to Lebanon, which is in the eye of the storm. Drawing upon his own experiences, Mardelli establishes his Lebanese views. Learn about the complex conditions of the Middle East prior to Lebanons destruction, including the Six Day Wars demoralization of the Arab cause. Mardelli also shares his view that the main underlying cause of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is driven by violent extremists from multiple sides. To understand the Middle East and the challenges it faces, it is essential to learn about this relatively small but vital country. Without knowledge, the steady quest for power will continue, and the results will be horrific.
Middle East Perspectives
Middle East Perspectives is the first book of a trilogy about the Middle East and it addresses the period from 1947 to 1967. The author seeks to portray personal recollections of events that occurred mainly in Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria, over a span of twenty years. Decisions made by key political players have influenced their lives, and many readers can offer a concise preliminary account of their experiences in the Middle East and provide a dramatic journal of observations. Contributions in terms of personal perspectives and interpretations focus on international affairs not personal minutiae. The author talked with many people from Egypt and the Levant, who left there but who volunta...

Holocaust
Immediately after World War II, there was little discussion of the Holocaust, but today the word has grown into a potent political and moral symbol, recognized by all. In Holocaust: An American Understanding, renowned historian Deborah E. Lipstadt explores this striking evolution in Holocaust consciousness, revealing how a broad array of Americans—from students in middle schools to presidents of the United States—tried to make sense of this inexplicable disaster, and how they came to use the Holocaust as a lens to interpret their own history. Lipstadt weaves a powerful narrative that touches on events as varied as the civil rights movement, Vietnam, Stonewall, and the women’s movement,...
States of Exception Or Exceptional States
This book explores the application of the work of the philosopher Giorgio Agamben to the post-Arab Uprisings in the Middle East, considering the evolution of regime-society relations that ultimately erupted in violence in the early months of 2011. Agamben's ideas of the state of exception and bare life provide important intellectual tools to understand the nature of sovereignty and the regulation of life, which has largely been missing in the study of the region. Filling a theoretical and empirical gap by exploring the concept of the 'state of exception' via a multidisciplinary approach, Simon Mabon, Sanaa Alsarghali and contributors in the fields of political science, law and philosophy offer a unique set of perspectives analysing how politics and law combine to facilitate the misuse of executive powers.

Hakkorset och halvmånen
Bara några år efter andra världskriget samlades nazister och officerare från Wehrmacht i Egypten och Syrien. Deras gemensamma mål: att utplåna Israel. Bland dem fanns Wilhelm Fahrmbacher, tysk general och misstänkt krigsförbrytare. Han organiserade en grupp be stående av omkring 100 tyska militära rådgivare, allt från gamla generaler till unga officerare, som skulle uppdatera de egyptiska styrkorna över hela linjen. Boken baseras på dokument ur Fahrmbachers personliga arkiv och berättar den okända historien om de forna nazisternas roll i Egypten. Niclas Sennerteg är författare och journalist, verksam på Borås Tidning och har även arbetat på Sveriges Radio i många år. Han har gett ut en rad kritikerrosade böcker: Stalins hämnd. Röda armén i Tyskland 1944 –1945 (2001), Warszawas bödel (2003), Ord som dödar (2010) och Göring – förhören 1945 (2011).
A King Oppressed
One day in England in 1936, a sixteen-year-old schoolboy riding steeplechase gets a message that his father, King Fouad I of Egypt has died. Instantly, the young prince, thereafter known as King Farouk, is swept upon the tumultuous world stage of pre-WWII. This biography tells the story of a young ruler who assumes the throne of a country struggling to rise on its own youthful legs of independence. Farouk must take up the mantle of his father and move his country into the twentieth century socially, economically, and politically. To add to this ominous task, he must also struggle with the decisions of which path his government will follow and what side it will choose as the Allied and Axis powers form their own alliances. With the strategic jewel of the Suez Canal in his backyard, he is the darling of both sides and endures great pressure while he attempts to remove Egypt from the mindset of colonialism. This is an eye-opening account of scenes from WWII that do not appear on modern history channels. It is a story that needs to be understood in order to grasp today's modern conflicts both in the Middle East and globally.
