A Safer World...? 1

A Safer World...?

Luc Debieuvre is a French banker who between 2003 and 2005 wrote a fortnightly opinion column for the United Arab Emirate-based English-language daily Gulf News. The period of Debieuvre’s association with the newspaper has been among the most significant and memorable in recent history. The aftermath of America’s War on Terror has unleashed forces that the world will have to contend with and endure long after the protagonists have left the stage. Now collated into book form for the first time, Debieuvre’s chronicles provide a fascinating insight into how the shifting sands of international relations and Middle Eastern politics were perceived at the time by a writer with a uniquely Gallic...

Caught in Crossfire: Civilians in Conflicts in the Middle East 1

Caught in Crossfire: Civilians in Conflicts in the Middle East

Examining the prolonged Arab–Israeli conflict, Lebanese civil war and the periodic upsurges of inter-state and internal tensions in the Gulf region, this book looks at how civilians are at the forefront of military conflicts and violence in the Middle East. The unsung heroes and real victims of wars in the Middle East are the civilian populations. Quickly forgotten, they have all too frequently been forced to endure the brutalities of war and its aftermath. Behind political calculations, military strategy and technological innovations, it is the unarmed civilian population that is expected to make the maximum sacrifices. Wars reflect the fears and trepidations of ordinary men and women...

Guests of God Pilgrimage and Politics in The Islamic World (HB) 3

Guests of God Pilgrimage and Politics in The Islamic World (HB)

Each year, about two million pilgrims from over 100 countries converge on the Islamic holy city of Mecca for the hajj. While the hajj is first and foremost a religious festival, it is also very much a political event. No government can resist the temptation to manipulate the hajj for political and economic gain. Every large Muslim state has developed a comprehensive hajj policy and a powerful bureaucracy to enforce it. The Muslim world's leading multinational organization, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, has established the first international regime explicitly devoted to pilgrimage. Yet, Robert Bianchi argues, no secular or religious authority - national or international - can...

Islam in the British Broadsheets 1

Islam in the British Broadsheets

From the late Ayatollah Khomeini’s  fatwa   against Salman Rushdie, to the extremism of the Taliban and the mass murder of the September 11th attacks, the image of Islam as a violent and anti-Western faith has featured dominantly in the global mass media. In this book, Elzain Elgamri sets out to refute such generalisations. Taking into account the historically conditioned Orientalist discourses, in light of the polarized relationship between Islam and the West, and deconstructing what has actually been reported in the British quality press, he argues that what has actually been journalistically covered is an incomplete fragment of a much more complex situation. While acknowledging...

Kings and Camels: An American in Saudi Arabia 0

Kings and Camels: An American in Saudi Arabia

First published in 1960,  Kings and Camels   is a straightforward account of how an American went to work in Saudi Arabia and came home to America to realize how little the average American appreciated the strategic importance of the area and, more crucially still, how little he understood the people in the area. Butler presents his material in the form of an informal account of his personal experiences in the Middle East, both while he lived there, working for the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO), and as a successful lecturer and writer who has returned to the area often. The book goes behind the scenes in the Arab world, and into private audience with the legendary Ibn...

Might Over Right: How the Zionists Took Over Palestine

Might Over Right: How the Zionists Took Over Palestine About this book Might Over Right provides a critical account of one of the most remarkable stories in the twenty century’s history of international relations – the history of how in the relatively short time of 30 years, Zionist leaders, managed, with the help of Western supporters but mainly the British, to wrestle a country away from its inhabitants, and in the process to profoundly affect the course of international relations and fundamentally transform the history of the Middle East. Extensively documented, relying mostly on Zionist, British, and Israeli sources, and sweeping in scope, the book makes a crucial contribution to the...
