"This was the text book for my Middle Eastern History class. I have to admit I was only moderately interested in the topic upon enrolling in the course. In hindsight, I am so glad I did! The text shed light on the historical complexities of the region, which could be tied into many of the more contemporary newsworthy events that we are bombarded with every day on television. The book is well written and subjective and easy-to-read for a textbook. Covered are topics such as the foundation of Islam and its historical significance to the region, the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire, the age of British and French Imperialism, the creation of Israel and the multiple wars over it, trials of self-governance, Cold War diplomacy, the discovery of oil and the ensuing struggle for control over it. I really couldn't have asked for any more out of a textbook and was satisfied reading it in full."
"Still working on reading this whole book, but for what I've read so far, it's an excellent resource for understanding why we (as in the Western world) are so responsible for many of the problems that the Middle Eastern world is facing right now."
