review 1: It was a book worth reading, and it was very quick! Mr. Rank simplifies such a complex and difficult situation so that the reader can attain a basic understanding of why the Middle East is such a volatile area. It will not give significant details, but I found that it peaked my interest in some of the surrounding issues. I also learned about some things that I was not previously aware of. All in all, an interesting book that is worth the couple of hours it takes to read for someone interested in the topic.
review 2: This was a First Reads book from a Goodreads giveaway. This title says it all: it is literally a crash course in Middle East History. In 100 pages, divided into 25 chapters of 3-5 pages apiece, the author hits the highlights and key issues in how ... morethe Middle East came to be over the past 2 millenia via political, religious, social, and militaristic means. As one who catches snippets of information about the Middle East in the news, this succinct book sheds some light on why things are the way they are. Though a quick read, it was rather informative. less
