A sweeping and dramatic history of the last half century of conflict in the Middle
East from an award-winning journalist who has covered the region for over forty years, The Great War for Civilisation unflinchingly chronicles the tragedy of the
region from the Algerian Civil War to the Iranian Revolution; from the American hostage
crisis in Beirut to the Iran-Iraq War; from the 1991 Gulf War to the American invasion

Great War for Civilisation is a work of major importance for today's world.
