What I love the most about the book is its format. It's very easy to follow despite the complex topic and length of the book. There were times were the role of some countries were presented in a more-than-acceptable biased manner but I guess in a project of such scope that is to be expected.

This is quite a good book on the topic. It doesn't fall into the trap that so many alleged 'experts' on the Middle East do, where they simply blame everything on Western colonialism and oil. Sure, those things have had an impact, but they were two factors among a plethora of others. A fairly clear and engaging read, too. I would recommend this book if you want to try and understand the fascinating and highly complex region of the Middle East.
