"Controversy raged over Elie Kedourie's radical interpretation of the history of the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East. He was one of the most influential historians of the twentieth century. During a long career in the Department of Politics at the London School of Economics, Kedourie inspired generations of students. A dedicated scholar and meticulous teacher, he founded Middle Eastern Studies, a journal which, forty years after its launch, remains one of the leading publications in the field and a monument to his work." "This collection brings together a range of distinguished scholars to evaluate Kedourie's contribution not only to Middle Eastern history but also to political thought, and to assess the impact of his scholarship. The volume contains a bibliography of his writings. This book was previously published as a special issue of Middle Eastern Studies."--BOOK JACKET.
