A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and The Creation of the Modern Middle East by David Fromkin
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
Even as someone with a lot of background knowledge about the Middle East, this book helped me understand more fully the dynamics in Europe that contributed to imperialism, especially how rampant antisemitism and Islamophobia were. I think the author’s discussion of Palestine and paternalism is wanting for more context, but overall I would recommend this.
Moderate: Colonisation
