Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

The Modern Middle East provides a fully updated and complete history of Middle Eastern societies from the early modern period of the 16th century to today, situating the region in historical and global contexts. With use of a maps, photos, and primary documents, it shows how Middle Eastern history is connected and parallel to world history.
MoreLong description:
In the wake of 11 September 2001, there has been much talk about the inevitable clash between 'East' and 'West.' This book presents an alternative approach to understanding the genealogy of contemporary events. By taking students and the general reader on a guided tour of the past five hundred years of Middle Eastern history, this book examines how the very forces associated with global "modernity" have shaped social, economic, cultural, and political life in the region. Beginning
with the first glimmerings of the current international state and economic systems in the sixteenth century, The Modern Middle East explores the impact of imperial and imperialist legacies, the great nineteenth-century transformation, cultural continuities and upheavals, international diplomacy,
economic booms and busts, the emergence of authoritarian regimes, and the current challenges to those regimes on everyday life in an area of vital concern to us all.
By far the most engaging survey of the history of the modern Middle East that I have read in a long time ... clearly written, often humorous, accessible to students and non-specialists and theoretically sophisticated.
