A Bernard Lewis Historical Examination of the Middle East and Modernity

For centuries, the Islamic world surpassed Western Europe in science, medicine, military power, and economic prosperity. Renowned Princeton historian Bernard Lewis explores the critical historical shift when European powers ascended in technology and military might, leaving the Ottoman Empire and Middle Eastern states struggling to adapt.

Lewis examines Middle Eastern responses to European dominance—from secular modernization and military reform to religious fundamentalism—offering essential historical context for modern Middle Eastern politics and international relations.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Bernard Lewis delivers concise historical analysis, deep primary-source scholarship, and clear geopolitical insights. An essential volume for readers interested in Middle Eastern history, international relations, and Islamic civilization.
