This book attempts to fill a gap in the written material available in convenient form on contemporary governments and politics of the Middle East, one of the most complex, strategic, and explosive areas of the world. The first chapter deals with the import of Islam to Middle Eastern political institutions. In subsequent chapters a country-by-country approach is taken; analysis of the domestic situation in each country is combined with a description of the essential features of the international relations of that country, thus giving the reader the feel of the modern dynamics of the region. The final chapter underscores the political patterns which have shaped the Middle East, and ventures some assess- ment of the regional and international forces operating there. A selected bibliography is appended to the end of each chapter; a general bibliog- raphy will be found at the end of the book.
