5.0 out of 5 stars
From the birth of civilization to the demise of culture,
By Harriet Nethery "Reads everything" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Mesopotamia to Iraq: A Concise History (Paperback)
This remarkably compact history of the region known as the cradle of civilization covers thousands of years of history in less than 200 easy-to-read pages. The book is weighted toward ancient history (Babylonia, Mesopotamia, etc.) but it also offers succinct chapters on the rise of Islam, the Middle Ages, the Ottoman period, as well as the founding of modern Iraq. The book ends with a meditation on Iraq's uncertain future. Highly recommended if you want a quick take on the history of one of the world's most important--and threatened--regions.
