In The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East , Simon Sebag Montefiore offers a sweeping history of the modern region, from the final years of the Ottoman Empire to the present, and from Morocco to Iran. He brings its turbulent history to life through the rulers, revolutionaries, poets, soldiers, and peacemakers who shaped it—and through the forces of geography, religion, empire, and ideology.
