TOP REVIEWS FROM THE EMERGENCE OF THE MODERN MIDDLE EAST - PART II
A complete and thorough journey from the Ottoman Empire to the Arab Spring with significant emphasis on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
This was a great class. The professor had so much knowledge and he made it easy to follow along
It would be much informative if the lectures are in chronogical order (year wise) instead of region (country wise). I think there should be Part III as well.
Informative, interesting, intense, well presented. Should be required for all diplomatic personnel deploying to Mid-east.
