UNDERSTANDING THE VOLATILE AND

DANGEROUS MIDDLE EAST

by Steven Carol, Ph.D.

The purpose of Understanding the Volatile and Dangerous Middle East is to assist the general public to obtain a deeper
comprehension of this bewildering region. Middle East issues can become muddled and confusing, particularly since the
mainstream news media, editorials, and popular literature on this highly-controversial subject are often plagued by inaccurate
information, or even disinformation. They often commit biased omissionsleaving out important information that can help the
public comprehend the true entire picture, and counteract these inaccuracies. This book is an essential volume for the general public
as well as specialists, students, and those in the media. It will prevent readers from making common and not so common mistakes for
lack of adequate knowledge. Additionally, there are 78 large historically-oriented mapsa built-in Middle East historical atlasand
numerous tables that enhance the text, which is thoroughly indexed. The author presents this information in a clear, comprehensive,
understandable, and insightful manner. Understanding the Volatile and Dangerous Middle East is a Middle East library rolled into one
volume. For anyone who seeks the truth based on facts, this definitely is one book to keep handy on your library shelf.

This book is required reading for all those who seek a true understanding of the Middle East conflict and its roots. Dr.
Carol offers a necessary corrective to the prevailing opinion fostered among academics and media professional based on
false information usually shaped by lies and Arab propaganda. Dr. Carol cuts through political correctness and offers
irrefutable facts in easy to read tables about the Middle East history and conflicts. I strongly recommend it.

This book clarifies the complexities of Arab-Islamic history during the past 1,400 years with an array of current facts
comprehensible to students even at the high school level. Carols book should also be read, however, by college and
university students so many of whom are misled by politically correct academics and journalists as well as by Arab
propagandists. This reader friendly volume provides much needed factual data about the Arab-Israeli conflict. It
should be brought to the attention of all friends of Israel, so often in need of solid facts to defend the one and only
Jewish homeland. Prof. Paul Eidelberg, President Foundation for Constitutional Democracy, Jerusalem
