Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Since 2001, every major conflict in the Middle East has been told in simplified terms-'terrorism,' 'sectarian war,' 'clash of civilizations'-yet the real drivers cut deeper into oil politics, sacred geography, and borders drawn by colonial powers. This book untangles how oil rich rents, contested holy sites, and artificial state lines have overlapped with local grievances, religious narratives, and foreign interventions to ignite and prolong wars from Iraq and Syria to Yemen and Gaza.Through accessible historical narrative and frontline style documentary detail, it traces the journey from the discovery of oil and the 1916 Sykes-Picot line to the War on Terror, the Arab uprisings, and the militarised sectarian discourses of today. It shows how leaders appeal to religion, how oil funded states bankroll rival factions, and how borders that ignored tribes and sects turned into fault lines rather than frontiers. The aim is not to reduce complex conflicts to three words, but to reveal the layered forces that keep the region on edge.
