## Description

desertcart.com: A History of the Middle East: Fifth Edition: 9780143121909: Mansfield, Peter, Pelham, Nicolas: Books

Review: Exceptional - In this exceptional book, Peter has very well encapsulated the very long Middle East history in an abbreviated, yet comprehensive way. While highlighting the major milestones in his pleasant writing style, he never forgets to mention important and interesting quotes by prominent politicians of their times, and may be of all times. Further, as an Egyptian Middle Eastern, I find the reciting of the history quite unbiased and neutral. This book has been my quick reference for history events and will certainly continue to be.
Review: Good overview but a little dry - This volume is packed with facts and gives a great overview of the history of the Middle East going back to ancient times. That being said, it is a little dry and could have used a little more narrative at times to keep one’s interest. Also, with as much time as it covers, it could have used some timelines or family trees of the different dynasties. Some more maps would have been nice too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ am loving this one
*by R***N on March 24, 2014*

i went to a rotary mtg where a guy talked for 30 mins abt Islam. occurred to me that there was a hole in my knowledge that you could drive a truck thru. this is an excellent read. considering the amt of news coming from that area of the world, i blv we would all do well to read something like this. answers questions you did not even know you had. i found myself saying, 'so that's why...'
