(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-349) and index.

The former Israeli senior official on Arab affairs and internationally acclaimed educator offers an unbiased, unparalleled view of the Middle East. Israeli intelligence analyst Avi Melamed forgoes the mainstream media's articles explaining what's happening in the Middle East and spends his time reading Arab and Israeli news and talking with people on the ground, often ones in fear of terrorism on a daily basis. To do this, Avi delves deep into its history and current state of affairs. Avi explains who terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram, ISIS, and the Muslim Brotherhood, to name a few, are - and what they want. He explains what's going on in all of the Middle Eastern countries and reveals which are in the most danger and which have the militant groups that pose the biggest threats. Citizens of the world need to know whom to support and whom to decry, and they need to be able to make sense of what happens next - because these conflicts won't simply go away.
