A Peace To End All Peace by David Fromkin
The book provides a detailed historical analysis of the Middle East from the onset of the First World War through to the early 1920s, focusing on how the decisions and actions of European powers, particularly Britain, led to the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire and the arbitrary redrawing of borders. It explores the diplomatic intrigues, strategic considerations, and often conflicting interests that shaped the modern Middle East, leading to a legacy of turmoil and conflict. The narrative critically examines the consequences of foreign intervention and the imposition of artificial state boundaries, shedding light on the origins of many of the region's ongoing struggles.
