Rezension zu „The Unmaking of the Middle East: A History of Western Disorder in Arab Lands “
"Devastating in its portrayal of the depths to which the West (France, Britain, and the US especially) sank in conquering the Middle East. Starting off with Huntington's quote about 'Islam's bloody borders,' Salt argues that it was the West that made these borders bloody, though in the process it had no trouble finding native accomplices who helped, wittingly or not."-Mehran Kamrava, author of The Modern Middle East
