National and International Politics in the Middle East : Essays in Honour of Elie Kedourie

First published in 2004. Professor Kedourie is known for his unforgettable essays, for the pattern of interpretation and view of the world which hold his readers spellbound, even when they strongly disagree with his opinions, and for Middle Eastern Studies, which recently reached its majority and which he and Frank Cass together have turned into the foremost scholarly journal in its field. These essays are presented to him by a group of his admirers overseas.
