The Seminal Book on the Arab World as it is Today
The Arab Awakening is the seminal work on the formation of the modern Arab States and the betrayals of the Western Powers following WWI that has largely caused the attitudes of the Arabs toward the West that survives to this day.

It takes the reader from the beginnings of the new Arab literary and philosophical rennaissance in the late 1800's, through WWI where the Arabs fought on the side of the West against the Ottomans, to the betrayals that immediately followed the Great War: the division of the Ottoman Empire among the Western Powers, the Mandate systems, Sykes-Picot, the Balfour Declaration, just to name a few.

For anyone wishing to know the real antecedents to todays Middle East issues, they go back considerably further than the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. This book is a must for any serious Middle East scholar.

Iron clad argument as to the roots of the conflict
Susan Boyle takes the reader to the roots of the current conflict in the middle east through the story of a man central to the desires of the arabs for a peaceful existence.

A must read for anyone having anything to do with the region.
