First edition.
Prominent work by the professor at Temple University, Philadelphia, who lived in Egypt for a number of years and whose career has been occupied with attempting to write and teach a kind of Middle Eastern history free from the eurocentric biases inherited from the colonial period.
A little fading at head and foot of backstrip, otherwise a well-preserved copy in frayed and rubbed dustjacket.
