These essays, covering more than four thousand years of history, discuss the continuity of administration and royal iconography in successful changes of regime in Egypt, Mesopotamia and Iran.\nRecurring patterns are identified in ten case studies, ranging from late third millennium Mesopotamia to early Islamic Egypt. A summary of the recent history of Iraq suggests that these regularities have lessons for the modern geopolitics of today.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Middle Eastern history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Middle Eastern history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Middle%20Eastern%20history%20%5BHBJF1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJF1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52253133898008,"sku":"9780197263907","price":51.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197263907.jpg?v=1781271964","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/regime-change-in-the-ancient-near-east-and-egypt-from-sargon-of-agade-to-saddam-hussein-hardback-9780197263907","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
