About This Book

The work combines first‑hand travel observations with geopolitical and economic analysis of a proposed railway linking the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. It explores political stakes and competing interests, clarifies regional geography and distinctions among Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and the coastal Levant, traces the proposed route and its landscapes, and assesses construction challenges alongside commercial and fiscal prospects. Chapters interweave on‑the‑ground description, strategic argumentation, and practical data, supported by a map.
