The State of the Middle East
Concise summaries that made logical connections between events that I had not made on my own (a-ha! moments). It assumes a general familiarity with the conflicts and political players, since the summaries are brief and short of detail. It is more about connections and patterns, with data to back up arguments.
Great graphics, maps, and charts to make comparisons and illustrate concepts. Just a few hours, and I have a deeper understanding of the Middle East. (I know - there's an ocean's depth of complexity, but this will at least get you below the surface of day to day news.)
The author is British, which made me realize how American many of my perceptions of events are (I know - I shouldn't be surprised). That in itself made it an interesting read.
