A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and The Creation of the Modern Middle East by David Fromkin

4.0

This was a doozy! A historical perspective of why the Middle East looks the way it does today. The Middle East used to be controlled by the Ottoman Empire. With its fall at the end of WWI, Turkey aligned itself as European and a power vacuum formed, which was quickly gobbled up by England, France, and Russia. Colonialism knows no limits and its consequences feed hatred and create chaos for generations
