- Summary
- "From the early days of the Arab nationalist experiment to the emergence of Islamic fundamentalism and beyond, the intertwining of politics and religion in the Middle East has been a salient feature of the region's history. Fred Halliday addresses this complex relationship, considering nationalism and Islamism region-wide, Islamic movements in Turkey, Iran, and Tunisia, and the likely fate of the remaining monarchies in the Arab world."--BOOK JACKET.
