Here he charts the period from the recapture of Mosul in 2017 to Turkey's attack on Kurdish territory in November 2019, and recounts the new phase in the wars of disintegration that have plagued the region. The ground battle with the caliphate is perhaps over, but was this the end of the conflict that has scarred these nations for decades?

SIDEN 2002 HAR Recep Tayyip Erdogan og hans islamiske parti vundet samtlige valg i Tyrkiet. Dæmoniseret i Vesten som populist og totalitær despot repræsenterer Erdogan på hjemmebanen en ny national selvbevidsthed, der har gjort hans land til en regional stormagt og medlem af G20-klubben. På under 20 år er Tyrkiet blevet ændret til en moderne, islamorienteret stat, og Erdogan har med halvdelen af vælgernes samtykke gennemført hidtil usete sociale og økonomiske forbedringer af tyrkernes levevilkår, men samtidig konsekvent set stort på menneskerettigheder, demokrati og ytringsfrihed.

Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.
