A lucid and engaging breakdown of the history, culture, and
politics that define today's Middle East. Untangling the Middle
East is a layman's guide to the history political, religious, and
cultural that led us to the current challenges plaguing the Middle
East. It covers the major interests and actors in the region, from
Israel to ISIS, and helps to spin a narrative of the evolution of
violence and conflict in this age-old hotbed of unrest. There are
no easy answers or simple explanations to be found here, only a
clear-eyed and engaging recounting of the many factors that have
brought this region to where it is today. Whether he is discussing
the history of the Semitic peoples or the birth of Islam in the
region, Soltes brings insight and much needed context to the
people, places, and things that make up the inheritance of today's
Middle East. He possesses the historian's appreciation for detail
and the teacher's knack for fashioning coherence out of complex
material. This book should be a go-to resource for a solid
foundation in understanding the Middle East and a bulwark against
the disinformation regarding this region that is often found on
cable television or in speeches on the campaign trail. The Middle
East may be a mess but it need not be a mystery, with the help of
this indispensable guide.
