Communism and Nationalism In The Middle East (1956) By Walter Z. Laqueur
 
 
This interesting book by W. Z. Laqueur (published by Routledge & Kegan Paul) is worth reading, both from the point of view of an understanding of Middle-Eastern politics and the study of Soviet and Communist party politics. This study, said by the author to be the first of its kind on the Middle East, deals with the Communist and Fascist parties (and similar organisations) and their connection with the rise of Arab nationalism in the Middle East. Most of the book is devoted to the history of these movements. The bibliographical notes cover 47 pages.
 
The book deals, as is expected, more with the Communist and fellow-traveler-type parties, than with the Fascist parties. The obvious link between these totalitarian organisations, the similarity in structure, object, and ideas are well-drawn. The co-operation throughout the Middle East between the Communist and Fascist parties and the obvious harmony that exists between them is also well shown.
