Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The book is a very readable overview of the history of the Middle East. Catherwood avoids academic flourishes (no footnotes) but does pay attention to the intricacies of the historiography of the region, often referencing other authors and conflicting interpretations of various events. The book is not terribly detailed -- if you want a more detailed analysis I would recommend Hourani's "History of the Arab Peoples," but Catherwood makes a nice beginning point. I plan to use the book for a high school class I am teaching on the history of the Middle East.
