Kenneth Perkins's second edition of A History of Modern Tunisia, updated with a new chapter that describes the 2011 revolution that marked the beginning of the Arab Spring, is the most sweeping and comprehensive English-language study of Tunisia. After providing an overview of the country in the years preceding the inauguration of a French protectorate in 1881, the book examines the impact of colonialism on the country and analyzes the first three decades of independence, culminating in the present.
