Book Reviews of The Future of the Middle East: Predictions
Book Review: Astute analysis by the senior Middle East scholar
Summary: 5 Stars
Bernard Lewis is the dean of Middle East scholars. After 9/11 he was much in demand as one who might shed some light on this most problematic of world areas. In this 1999 work he already sees the dark clouds on the horizon, understands the potential for radical fundamentalist Islam to lead the region backwards. His hope is that peace settlements will somehow bring the region to a new era in which it can last come to terms with modernization. But he wisely and judiciously hedges his bets, and after showing why and how the Middle East has failed to meet the challenge of modernity also raises the possibility that it might continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
