Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Near East: Crossroads of the World
The term Near East as used in this book includes Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, and Persia. It did not seem feasible to include the Balkans within the scope of this study, and Arabia is barely touched. But who knows Arabia? It is still a term incognita, waiting as it has waited throughout untold centuries for the coming of a new day that has yet to dawn on that land of desert plains, fertile valleys, and ele mental races.
