A Brief History of The Middle East

by Christopher Catherwood

Western civilisation began in the middle east; Judaism and Christianity, as well as Islam, were born there. Catherwood here puts the 20th century Middle East in its broader historical context and also asks key questions: a place where Jews, Muslims and Christians lived for over 1000 years in harmony, why is it so different now? What is the place of the Jews in the Middle East? Why does Osama bin Laden see 1918, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, as the tipping point? These issues are clearly explained in a way that reaches behind the rhetoric right to the roots of the present conflict.
