Situated at the crossroads of three continents, the Middle East has
confounded the ambition of conquerors and peacemakers alike.
Christianity, Judaism and Islam all had their genesis in the region
but with them came not just 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 hordes;
the Ottoman Turks and the rise of radicalism in the modern world
symbolised by Islamic State.
