The sixth volume brings this series to an end as it takes in the whole 
of the
modern period from colonial conquest and domination to decolonization; 
the Cold
War from start to finish; the disintegration of the Soviet Union; and the
renewed instability in certain areas.

Not only did the colonial regimes lay a new patina over the region, but
nationalism remoulded all old identities into a series of new ones. That 
process
of the twentieth century was perhaps the most transformative of all 
after the
colonial subjugation of the nineteenth. While it has been the basis of
remarkable stability in vast stretches of the region, it has been a fertile
source of tension and even wars in other parts. The impact and the 
results of
such changes have been astonishingly variable despite the proximity of these
states to each other and their being subject to, or driven, by virtually the
same compulsions.
