Reviews
'Stephanie Cronin is to be congratulated on the inclusion of subaltern history and the fine analysis she provides here...This is a very important book and clearly the historical understanding is essential in current-day discourse on the behaviour of Middle Eastern armies.' Dr. Claudia Prestel, University of Leicester This is a timely and important book, contributing to our understanding of the building and rebuilding of armies in the Middle East. Cronin powerfully demonstrates how the specific behaviour of the military in each national context must take account of a complex web of factors. This book will have a wide range of readers from academics to activists and ordinary readers. Dr Elaheh Rostami-Povey, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
