Today I talked about and reviewed the book Best of Enemies: A History of US and Middle East Relations, Part One: 1783-1953 by Jean-Pierre Filiu. I go over America's early role in negotiating with different groups in the middle east, and their attempts to westernize heavily religious countries. I give my take on graphic novel depictions of serious topics, and why this book is a good jumping off point for understanding American-Middle Eastern relations.
In the first ever episode of this podcast, you will be informed on the true history of the Gaza Strip through the book that I review and discuss called Gaza: A History by Jean-Pierre Filiu. Join me for an informative and deep dive on one of the most contentious regions in the entire world.
