N2  - Modern and ancient history are tangled and layered upon each other in the Middle East. Israel and the Palestinians are always in the foreground, but conflict and change in the Middle East stretches beyond these two players. Axelrod helps you gain a better understanding of the national ambitions, religious zeal, and historical claims and counterclaims of all sides
