Elie Podeh is Lecturer in the Department of Islam and Middle Eastern Studies, at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Research Fellow at The Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace.
In spite of its short duration, the rise and demise of the United
Arab Republic the union between Egypt and Syria (195861) is
considered a seminal episode in the modern history of the Arab
world. At the time, many Arabs hoped that the union would herald
realization of the pan-Arab dream, but its disintegration shattered
this dream beyond repair. With the wisdom of hindsight it is also
clear that this episode had a significant, lasting impact on the
evolution of Arab politics. -- From the Foreword by Moshe Maoz,
author of "Asad: The Sphinx of Damascus"
A superb narrative and analysis long overdue. -- Choice Outstanding
Academic Book
"An important book. Podehs is the most reliable of the histories of
the union." -- The International History Review
