The Man Who Created the Middle East: A Story of Empire, Conflict and the Sykes-Picot Agreement by Christopher Simon Sykes

2.0

Slightly disappointed because since his life legacy is the Sykes-Picot agreement and you have to read 2/3 of the book to get to that point. The end1/3 of the book, gives a strong finish of the events leading to the Sykes-Picot agreement and analysis of historical events leading to the creation of the Middle East. However to be honest I should have read a book titled the creation of the Middle East, as this book is just about the man. So if you are like me and looking for a historical analysis of events and a little bit about Sykes this is not that book.
