Trevan Klug’s Reviews > A History of the Middle East > Status Update

35 pages to provide a brief but detailed overview of almost 4500 years of conquest and conflict in North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Asia Minor, and Mesopotamia, as well as the establishment of the Abrahamic religions. What a dense first chapter. It sets the stage for the last 200+ years starting with the decline of the Ottoman Empire, but sheesh, my head hurts.
