A Short History of the Middle East

by Gordon Kerr - £8.99  Kamera Books (2016)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781843446361 | ISBN 10: 1843446367

Situated at the crossroads of three continents, the Middle East has confounded the ambitions of conquerors and peacemakers alike. Christianity, Judaism and Islam all had their genesis in the religion but with them came not only civilisation and religion but also some of the great struggles of history.
 
A Short History of the Middle East makes sense of the shifting sands of Middle Eastern history, beginning with the early cultures of the area and moving on to the Roman and Persian Empires; the growth of Christianity; the rise of Islam; the invasions from the east; Genghis Khan's Mongol hoardes; the Ottoman Turks and the rise of radicalism in the modern world symbolised by Islamic State.
