Informative, matter of fact chronology of the Middle East

getting to know the subject
ok so the narrator is really good. good intonation. good pace.
the facts in the book: well I don't know if all the facts are correct. I need to do more research on that. his logic and reasoning for some of the incidents and observations seem right. but I still struggle with one major issue when it comes to Israel-Palatine,which I see in this book too. which is unless you accept that in creating a national state of Israel, people who originally occupied these lands ,either directly or indirectly,were displaced, I don't see a way forward. and the author doesn't address that issue at all.
