Which (preferably e-) books would you recommend to fully understand the situation in Middle East? So, books that deal with its history, geopolitics, causality... Thanks!
A Concise History of the Middle East, Arthur Goldschmidt Jr. and Lawrence Davidson (9th or 10th edition), Westview Press
Arab Spring, Change and Resistance in the Middle East, Mark L. Haas and David W. Lesch (eds.), 2013, Westview Press
The State of the Middle East An Atlas of Conflict and Resolution, Dan Smith, 2008, University of California Press
All of these would make for a good start addition to the equine history flair, I also have a BA in political science, and I spent a lot of time taking classes about the Middle East)
