About This Item
Stanford, CA: Hoover Institution Press, 2011. Cloth, xxvi, 188 pages; 23 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First printing. Fine DJ. "The author examines in detail the issues most critical to the region's future. He describes oil as the current, most important export to the outside world from the Middle East but warns that technology will eventually make it obsolete, leaving those who depend solely on oil revenues with a bleak future. The three factors that could most help transform the Middle East, according to Lewis, are Turkey, Israel, and women. He also argues that there is enough in the traditional culture of Islam on the one hand and the modern experience of the Muslim peoples on the other to provide the basis for an advance toward freedom in the true sense of that word and to achieve the social, cultural, and scientific changes necessary to bring the Middle East into line with the developed countries of both West and East." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo.
