The Wars of the Middle Eastern Succession, Second Edition: 1914-2016

Since the British launched their subjugation of Iraq in 1914, the Middle East has experienced almost constant warfare, often with the outcome of one conflict influencing the next-a trend that continues to this day, along with a long-standing tradition of Western powers trying (and often failing) to chart the region's political and ideological paths. The Wars of the Middle Eastern Succession: 1914-2016, provides a comprehensive overview of eighteen wars fought in the Middle East in the last century, some of which are still being fought today.
