Learned much about Britain's role and experiences in Iran during and after World War II. And we wonder why there's such a mistrust of the West in the Middle East?

Reading about the West's actions over oil in the Middle East in the inter-war years leaves you in no doubt about how we got to where we are today.

A fascinating history from the eastern perspective; I'm enjoying reading about Persia, Islam and the nomadic tribes as well as Christianity, Judaism, and the Romans of usual histories.

Mac McCormick III is on page 32 of 324 of The H. L. Hunley: The Secret Hope of the Confederacy
"Yes, the Hunley is an artifact of the American Civil War and a nationalist movement devoted to a venal objective, the perpetuation of the enslavement of African Americans. Yet this vessel also happens to be a splendid artifact of Victorian-era engineering."
