It’s been amazing to see Jeremy Bowen’s The Making of The Modern Middle East jump to the Sunday Times bestseller list over the last couple of weeks – over a year after publication!

Not to mention being listed as a Spectator and New Statesman Book of the Year!

In The Making of the Modern Middle East – in part based on his acclaimed podcast, ‘Our Man in the Middle East’ – Jeremy takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.

Congratulations, Jeremy.
