If you want to know anything behind the modern Middle East, this is the book for you. It does such a good job finding the foundations for the current mess in that area. Most of it stems from the First World War, and this book does focus on T.E. Lawrence (AKA Lawrence of Arabia). Lawrence was one of the people responsible for leaders in the Middle East to join WW1, but then after the war, the UK, France, and the US backtracked and made a complete mess out of everything. Overall, a great book to get some background on the situation.

Fascinating look at the likely reality of a man who created a leading world religion. Helps one to understand many of the conflicting things about Islam and some of how the Middle East has wound up as it has. If you take nothing else from it, it is at least engagingly well written.
