Reviews

`In any event, both the first, more historical section of the book, and the second, more current section, together comprise a comprehensive research whole, whose thoroughness and upbeat tone constitute a fitting historiographical gesture in honour of Professor P.J. Vatikiotis.' Israel Gershoni, Middle Eastern Studies
