A Spectator and New Statesman Book of the Year

'An illuminating and riveting read’ – Jonathan Dimbleby

Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present. Here, Bowen offers readers a gripping and invaluable guide to the modern Middle East, how it came to be and what its future might hold.

In The Making of the Modern Middle East – in part based on his acclaimed podcast, ‘Our Man in the Middle East’ Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.

Clear throughout is Bowen's deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan’s Turkey, Assad’s Syria, Netanyahu’s Israel and Palestine, whether Hamas-controlled Gaza or the West Bank, and his long experience of covering events in the region.

批評家のレビュー

Arresting . . . <b>excellent</b>, doom-freighted (Justin Marozzi)
Jeremy Bowen is<b> one of the finest journalists and broadcasters of our age </b>- qualities which shine through every page of this<b> superb </b>book. . . His judgements are invariably balanced but when they are due he does not shrink from scathing criticisms of the key actors. The result is <b>an illuminating and riveting read</b>. (Jonathan Dimbleby, broadcaster, author and historian)
[A] <b>compelling</b> blend of sweeping history and<b> vivid</b> memoir . . . Bowen paints in the historical background masterfully and manages to convey the pressure, euphoria and horror of war reporting as well
Bears witness to how lofty dreams of the post-Cold War period crashed and burned ... with <b>deep empathy and understanding</b> of the roots of the conflict (Emma Sky)
Few people are as well placed to authoritatively depict the making of the modern Middle East than Jeremy Bowen, the BBC&rsquo;s long-serving correspondent in the region . . .<b> excellent</b>
A clear and dispassionate account of the impact of oil, nationalism and the West on the Middle East. I left the book feeling both well informed and very depressed. (Henry Marsh)
A <b>gripping and compelling</b> account that swings between gut-wrenching eyewitness stories and dispassionate analysis, laying bare the hopes and horrors of the Middle East in the twenty-first century. <b> A remarkable book.</b> (Professor Eugene Rogan, author of The Arabs: A History)
A heart-wrenching read . . . We should be thankful for his journalism; and for this work, too, with<b> its rich historical details, its composure and balance, and its readability</b>. The book is boosted by Bowen&rsquo;s voice registering in the reader&rsquo;s mind, in a narrative sprawling across centuries and borders. The writing is like his reporting: <b>steady and clear, considered, compassionate</b>
He is<b> skilled at sketching out the history</b>, the tortous issues and the character of countries in a few <b>elegant</b> paragraphs (Ian Birrell)
This book is <b>a very personal and erudite history of a troubled region . . . </b>I highly recommend this <b>fascinating</b> book which is also a testament to a better era in journalism. (Michael Burleigh, author of The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: A History of Now)
This is<b> a wise, compelling, fast-paced book - essential reading</b> if you wish to make sense of the forces that have convulsed the Middle East, as well as unsettling all our lives, since the end of the Cold War. (Jason Cowley, author of Who Are We Now? and Editor in Chief of The New Statesman)
