[Richard · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great academic read. I knew hardly anything about the Middle East and now I know more. Exactly what I was hoping for. Certainly a somewhat dense read, however.

A fine book that summarizes the history of the Middle-East and gives a lot of context for today's problems in the area.
