The book shows the Arab community of the Middle East, which, both during colonization and decolonization, failed to resist external factors of domination and manipulation, as well as internal disintegration and lack of solidarity. The French-English domination from the beginning of the 20th century was replaced by American-Israeli domination. Arabs today, as in the past, are not partners respected on the international stage, despite many tragic events.

Starting from the Turkish period (10th century), the Arabs have always lost both in battles and at the negotiating table. Whenever it seemed that they had achieved some successes, they came under the influence of another power.
