The Middle East for Dummies

• Craig Davis' The Middle East for Dummies

The book is poorly organized and incredibly repetitve. Sometimes the author forgets to give you key information. For instance, he tells you to read a book that has received all kinds of negative reactions from the Muslim world and about the persecutions that this man has faced, but he fails to ever tell you what the book is about. However, despite the poor writing skills, the book does have some important information that is very useuful for understanding the culture, politics, religions, extremists, and countries in the Middle East. It's a decent starter book, but maybe I should try The Idiot's Guide version just to see if it's better since Idiots are better than dummies. Dummies are just stupid. Idiots just have dumb moments, they have more potential. =)
