A short history of the Middle East : from ancient empires to Islamic State
Kerr, Gordon2016
Book
Situated at the crossroads of three continents, the Middle East has confounded the ambition of conquerors and peacemakers alike. Christianity, Judaism and Islam all had their genesis in the region but with them came not just civilisation and religion, but also some of the great struggles of history. This introductory text makes sense of the shifting sands of Middle Eastern history, beginning with the early cultures of the area and moving on to the modern world.
