These lectures, by a leading specialist on Middle Eastern history, generated such interest that they were adapted and published in book form for a wider reading public. The book forms a comprehensive introduction to the history of the Middle East.Middle EastHistory950Kirk George E(George Eden),1911-1993,267112OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910150350503321A short history of the Middle East2795050UNINA
