- Summary:
-
"Focusing on the role of battle and warfare in the rise and fall of civilizations from the Ancient Egyptians and Hittites to the five-hundred-year conflict between the Ottoman and Byzantine Empires, this book sheds light on the character of the region. It explains why the Middle East has long borne and continues to bear a critical role in world affairs." "Combining a novelist's talent for atmosphere and character with a scholar's grasp of historical perspective, T. C. F. Hopkins provides us with a portrait of the many tragedies that are the seeds of the conflicts that still plague the Middle East today." "Empires, Wars, and Battles is a must-read for anyone interested in this cradle of cultures. It is an essential resource and necessary starting point for anyone who is serious about understanding one of the most vitally important regions of our world."--BOOK JACKET.
