He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, and their leaders, whether brutal or benign. He explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClear throughout is Bowen’s deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan’s Turkey, Netanyahu’s Israel and Palestine, whether Hamas-controlled Gaza or the West Bank. His long experience of covering events in the region make this an extraordinarily powerful account of one of the world's greatest problems. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books N Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50719528321264,"sku":"9781035083992","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1855\/5830\/files\/9781035083992_1.jpg?v=1793665759","url":"https:\/\/booksngifts.com.au\/products\/the-making-of-the-modern-middle-east-a-personal-story","provider":"Books N Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
