About This Item
New York, London: W. W. Norton & Company, 2007. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 9 1/4 h x 6 1/4w. A real nice clean 778 page first edition (stated) hardcover with 2 low in number line. From dust jacket flap: Beginning with the Barbary Wars of the eighteenth century and extending to the conflicts of today, the United States has been profoundly involved in the Middle East. America fought its first foreign war there and established its navy to meet a Middle Eastern threat. The region played a seminal role in shaping American identity~from the making of the U.S. Constitution to the writing of "The Star Spangled Banner." Americans also helped define the Middle East by forging its borders and introducing notions of national identity. The Middle East in turn inspired works by some of America's preeminent artists, including Herman Melville, Edith Wharton, and Mark Twain, and lured prominent leaders, among them Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and John F Kennedy. The region also attracted generations of Americans who, impelled by faith, sought to educate, modernize, and proselytize its peoples..

About Warren's Books
I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
