After introducing the region, Wynot traces the differing paths each nation took from imperial rule to independence following World War I. The author next explores how each fared in the two decades of peace, when so many high political and economic hopes were dashed on the rocks of antidemocratic movements and the financial reefs of the Great Depression. It concludes with a survey of World War II and its aftermath. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCaldron of Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone trying to comprehend the recent and ongoing destruction in this explosive and pivotal region ofthe world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
