## Description

Examining Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Palestine from both the European and indigenous points of view, D. K. Fieldhouse argues that the western powers failed in their stated purpose of establishing stable democratic states in these ex-Ottoman provinces, leaving the Middle East as perhaps the most volatile region in the world.
