Author: Kim Ghattas
In this deep exploration of Middle Eastern affairs over the last few decades, Ghattas, a highly regarded journalist and author, tries to unpick the fabric of events to try and analyse what led to the current situation in the region. Her research leads her back to 1979, a year which she argues changed the path which the region would travel on. Very interesting and thought-provoking for anyone interested in politics and international affairs!
