Greece and Turkey chapters were great, the history sections were more concise, but some funny pronunciations of Selyuk and Rohava. Great idea to include the Sahel

I would prefer more contemporary history and less of the sweeping summary generalisations but I understand their importance for context. Marshall is obviously a veteran journalist and not an academic and thinks he's quite witty, which he can be. Certainly enjoying it mostly.
