'Timely and well written...coherent and illuminating. While Australia's Middle East engagement has grown in importance and intensity, and has gone through different phases over the last five decades, there has been limited analysis of the engagement. This book goes a long way to fill the gap.' - Amin Saikal, Director of the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies (The Middle East & Central Asia) and Professor of Political Science, Australian National University
Traces the nature of the Australia-Middle East relationship, from an insular 'White Australia' ideology through to the global impact of September 11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the menacing terror threat that has arrived on its own doorstep.
