Title: Read this to understand the Middle East better
Review: This is without doubt one of the best books ever written about the Middle, treating the events between 1979 to 1988.I started to get interested in the Near East at the beginning of the 90ies and was looking for books that would help me to explain me the situation also back in the recent past. This is the best book I found.Friedman shares with us his own experiences, delivers us all important facts about this time and especially gives us a deep insight in both sides of the conflict, giving preference to neither of them, offering to the reader the decision to choose their camp, if they feel like.This book has helped me a great deal in understanding the different factions, their actions and motivations much clearly than any other book.
Is the review positive or negative?
