It is really good and shows basically from a pro--arab perspective what happened to the near/middle east post wwi. Puts things in perspective since we generally are borderline fellating Isreal. |
Another great book is
A History with Documents
5th edition
Dr Smith is the department head at the Univesity of Arizona's Near Easter Studies department. The book has more detail and actual documents that any other book I have read.
