This book was extremely accessible and informative. I learned so much. I can't recommend this book enough to people who are interested in WWI and the middle east. It was fascinating to find out about Germany's 'jihad' in Turkey, the Suez Canal, etc. The only problem I had with the book is that occasionally I'd get confused because there are so, so many people involved. That's obviously not the author's fault though.

Anyway, I definitely recommend this book!
