## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Liked it
*by P***A on May 11, 2019*

I thought this book was very good and well-written. Regarding the negative comments from other viewers regarding the author's treatment of Iraq since the US invasion, obviously some people are biased and are not capable of seeing the bad things their country has done. I am not highly knowledgeable about this subject, the only thing I would say is that it did seem the author did leave out any incriminating information showing that in regards to the problems post-US invasion Iraq has faced, there are Iraqis that bear some of the responsibility as well, in other words that their problems are not solely the US's fault.

*by H***E on December 22, 2016*

This is an outstanding overview of the history of Iraq and the Middle East in general. There is a lot of content here which is paced nicely, but since it encompasses thousands of years of history, one can get lost in the details at times. Additionally, since it is a short history, you may be left with some questions on specifics which you will need to seek elsewhere for answers.I would recommend this work to any beginner to this area of history and to those who need a refresher. My few complaints are that the author fails to hide his bias towards past US foreign policy throughout the book which questions his objectivity at times. Additionally, there is little to mention of how the current administration has affected Iraq during the last eight years. Lastly, this is a book of the entire history of the region of Iraq, but about 1/4 of the work deals with “modern” Iraq or the twentieth century and beyond. I think more detail could have been provided on ancient Mesopotamia.Overall a great read from Professor Robertson.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superlative, just short. The writing is so engaging ...
*by A***R on June 28, 2017*

Superlative, just short. The writing is so engaging it's hard to believe this is an academic history. There is enough to get the essence of Iraqi culture and how it differs from Iran and its Arab neighbors, and the only flaw is the book's modest length, I really wish the Author had more space to give us his expertise on this tragic country/civilization.
