Book Synopsis

Ian Barnes’s Crossroads of War captures five millennia of conflict and conquest in detailed full-color maps, accompanied by incisive, accessible commentary.

Trade Review
From the earliest cities to the development of three of the world’s leading religions and from supplying much of the world’s petroleum to ongoing war, the Middle East has greatly affected the history of the entire world… This atlas offers excellent maps and accompanying text that attempt to bring this history to life… With a 5,000-year time span, this important work covers more history than any other atlas of the Middle East. -- G. A. Crawford * Choice *
