Simon Sebag Montefiore
The Cauldron: The Making of The MODERN Middle EAst
The Middle East has forever been the source of religions, prize of empires, spark-wheel of conflicts, well of radicalism and epicentre of our tumultuous world. No other region has such a hold on our imagination, yet few know its real history. Join prizewinning historian Simon Sebag Montefiore as he discusses his new history of the entire region in all its diversity, from 1900 up to the present day. He takes us on a spectacular journey from the Ottoman Empire to the Trump presidency, from Morocco to Iran. Hear the story of how the Middle East of 1900 became the Middle East of today – and tomorrow.
