Currently Reading : A Peace to End All Peace

I am currently reading David Fromkin's "A Peace to End All Peace", which deals with the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the modern middle east. The Middle East has long been a hotbed of conflicts. All of these - including the hostilities between Arabs and Israelis, and the violent challenges posed by Iraq’s competing sects—are rooted in the region’s political inheritance: the arrangements, unities, and divisions imposed by the Allies after the First World War.

Focusing on the formative years of 1914 to 1922, David Fromkin reveals how and why the Allies drew lines on an empty map that remade the geography and politics of the Middle East.
