Five centuries of Arab history and all the Arab states of North Africa, the Fertile Crescent and the Arabian Peninsula. The narrative begins with the Battle of Marj Dabiq in 1516, when the Mamluk Sultanate was defeated by the Ottomans and the Arabs fell under foreign rule. It ends with the events of the 2010s. The interconnectedness of the history of all the states of the region is noticeable. A detailed account of the dramatic events of the twentieth century - the partition of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the struggle of Arab peoples against colonialism, the Palestinian catastrophe and the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Arab Spring and its consequences. The fate of the Arab peoples is not simple. For centuries, their history has been defined by two vectors: resistance to foreign domination and the desire to reform their own states. The revolutionary events of the Arab Spring were just another chapter in the history of centuries of struggle, and this is the subject of Eugene Rogan's sweeping work.
