The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East by Robert Fisk

5.0

after like 6 months i've finally finished. this was definitely a comprehensive history of the middle east, starting in the 80s in afghanistan, and ending with the us invasion of iraq after 9/11.

reading about all the war crimes that happened in this region and the west's seeming indifference was hard at times (i had to take a break in the middle of the armenian genocide section because it was too heavy) but now I have a better understanding of history, and that's definitely a good thing.
