I've heard more than one complaint about funky Kinja this week. Probably technical.

I'd read it.

Well, to get some historical perspective, I'd grab A World At Arms. It's a VERY comprehensive history of WWII, but the sections about the planning by Axis and Allied forces regarding the region would be a great segue after Lourence.
There's a book called The Middle East in the 1950s, that would give you a ton of…
