A History of the Middle East Since the Rise of Islam
From the Prophet Muhammad to the 21st Century
AvDavid W. Lesch
Häftad, Engelska, 2023
775 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
As David Lesch writes in his Preface, "Historians are a kind of secular priesthood, seemingly endowed with the power and means to select what is and what is not important for the rest of us." In A History of the Middle East Since the Rise of Islam, Lesch focuses on the longue durée. Choosing the rise of Islam as the general beginning point of his one-volume history of the Middle East, Lesch argues that there is an indelible link between the rise of Islam and the overall environment that exists today in the region. The continuum of this chain of events is the primary focus of his book. Combining a comprehensive approach and an appealing, informal tone, Lesch offers the reader enough specifics to digest the flavor of particular periods, dynasties, movements, cultural markers, and ideological developments, yet general enough so that the totality of this history can be compared and contrasted. The result is a brilliant tour de force.

In 2011, massive protest movements that appeared to come out of nowhere caught the Arab world’s autocrats by surprise and brought down powerful leaders in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen. Thousands of Syrians took to the streets in March 2011 calling for the “fall of the regime,” the popular slogan of Arab uprisings, but found themselves confronting a determined foe willing to slaughter thousands of citizens and to destroy entire city neighborhoods in order to hold onto power. By the middle of 2013, Syria was in the midst of a nightmarish civil war marked by more than 80,000 deaths, sectarian massacres, the flight of one-fourth the country’s population from their homes, the disintegration of government institutions in much of the country, and a rising humanitarian crisis as food, medicine, and electricity grew short. Nobody in Syria or the outside world appears to be in a position to stop what looked like a fight to the bitter end, at whatever cost to the country.This third edition of the Historical Dictionary of Syria covers the recent events in Syria as well as the history that led up to these events. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The cross-referenced dictionary section has over 500 entries on significant persons, places and events, political parties and institutions, literature, music and the arts. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Syria.

Today Syria is a country known for all the wrong reasons: civil war, vicious sectarianism, and major humanitarian crisis. But how did this once rich, multi-cultural society end up as the site of one of the twenty-first century’s most devastating and brutal conflicts?In this incisive book, internationally renowned Syria expert David Lesch takes the reader on an illuminating journey through the last hundred years of Syrian history – from the end of the Ottoman empire through to the current civil war. The Syria he reveals is a fractured mosaic, whose identity (or lack thereof) has played a crucial part in its trajectory over the past century. Only once the complexities and challenges of Syria’s history are understood can this pivotal country in the Middle East begin to rebuild and heal.

Nirenberg: The Education of a Texas Public Servant offers a compelling portrait of Ron Nirenberg’s eight-year tenure as mayor of San Antonio, the seventh largest city in the United States. From 2017 to 2025, Nirenberg guided the city through times of crisis and opportunity with a compassionate, pragmatic approach that defied partisan expectations and earned broad popular support. Winning six elections and numerous referenda, he became San Antonio’s longest-serving mayor since Henry Cisneros.In this candid memoir, Nirenberg reflects on the formative moments that shaped his path to public service. Born to a multicultural family and raised in Texas, he overcame early obstacles and was driven by a sense of purpose from a young age. After completing his education, he worked on public policy initiatives across the country, collaborating with future leaders like Barack Obama and Cory Booker to inspire civic engagement among youth.As mayor, Nirenberg guided San Antonio through the global Covid-19 pandemic, establishing a model of leadership that others throughout the country emulated. He also led the city out of a devastating winter storm that shut down the entire state and compassionately dealt with the aftermath of public outrage in response to the murder of George Floyd. His vision for growth in San Antonio, a city poised to become a cultural and economic hub in Texas, turned thought into action as he led the way in creating nationally recognized initiatives in workforce development, affordable housing, education, and equity-driven city planning.At a time of rising polarization and political uncertainty, Nirenberg is both a hopeful call to civic action and a behind-the-scenes account of how to lead with integrity and impact in today’s challenging political landscape.
