Understanding the Never-Ending Conflict in the Middle East

By David Aikman
(Regal, 2009)

Aikman goes behind the headlines to explain the issues of the Middle East from a balanced perspective.

In his latest book, Trinity Forum Senior Fellow David Aikman takes on the headline-grabbing subject of the Middle East. Aikman goes beyond the headlines and sound-bites to examine the complex and deeply rooted sources of the bloodshed and discord that seem to characterize the region. With a journalist’s objectivity and an historian’s analysis, Aikman—who was TIME Magazine’s Jerusalem bureau chief and who now teaches history at Patrick Henry College—explains the historical context of the animosities dominating today’s news, giving readers an understanding of the personalities, relationships and web of complicated loyalties behind the thorny issues that have defied all attempts to bring a lasting peace to the region.

About the author

Category: Featured Books by the Fellows

If there never be a silence in the soul, and a man goes on always with his own thoughts and schemes and endeavors, it brings about a moral and spiritual madness. That is tenfold worse than mere madness in the brain, when a man judges everything by false ways, puts a wrong value on everything, thinks little of great things and much of little things.

George MacDonald, “Alone with God,” a sermon at Westminster Chapel
