U.S.A VS. The Middle East: Why It Matters.

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.

The Gaza Strip's Tragic History

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.
