ABOUT THE BOOK

100 Years of the Middle East: The Struggle for the Post Sykes-Picot Middle East, authored by political analyst and geopolitical commentator Adnan Khan, is a sweeping critical history of modern Western intervention in the Levant and Mesopotamia. Published in 2016 by Maktaba Islamia, the core philosophy of this text centers on the systemic collapse of an artificial architectural status quo. Khan argues that the current map of the Middle East is an ongoing imperialist imposition that has naturally reached its expiration date.

The text provides a sharp, heavily anti-colonial analysis tracking the century-long ripple effects of the secret 1916 Anglo-French pact. Moving beyond standard Western diplomacy books, Khan highlights the psychological mechanisms of authoritarian control used by regional rulers. He explores how arbitrary lines drawn across the sand willfully broke centuries-old organic socio-religious ties, setting up a landscape of perpetual crisis designed specifically to allow foreign superpowers to control the region’s valuable energy corridors.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Adnan Khan is a well-known geopolitical analyst who specializes in the foreign policies of the Western world toward the Middle East and the broader Muslim landscape. His perspective is unapologetically focused on highlighting indigenous regional dynamics against external interference, offering a direct window into anti-imperialist political theory.

Khan’s writing style is direct, punchy, and highly structural. He avoids dense academic jargon in favor of clear, fast-paced analytical paragraphs that treat global empires as calculating corporations pursuing raw self-interest. The book operates with an explicit educational goal: to debunk the common myth that the constant turmoil in the Middle East is merely the result of ancient sectarian hatreds, proving instead that it is the direct consequence of ongoing colonial design.
