‘A Line in The Sand’ helped me learn a lot why the current Israel-Palestine-Syria-Lebanon piece is so multifaceted.

This one also has more about Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran. It covers 1942-67.

"Line in the Sand" was excellent so I shall add this one to my purchasing list. 👌

Will put it on my list - I definitely have a knowledge gap here.

Currently feverishly reading Steele's "Unredacted", which frustratingly is not available for purchase in UK.

I hadn’t realised that.
