At the dawn of World War I, the United States was only a rising power. Our reputation was relatively benign among Middle Easterners, who saw no imperial ambitions in our presence and were grateful for the educational and philanthropic services Americans provided. Yet by September 11, 2001, everything had changed. The United States had now become the unquestioned target of those bent on attacking the West for its perceived offenses against Islam. How and why did this transformation come about?

So much information on a complicated topic
Revisado: 08-06-18
In today's political environment, I've been pondering what caused the regression of women's rights in Afghanistan and Iran (look at some of the lost pictures from the 70s). I realized that I know very little about the history of these two countries beyond our interactions with them over the last 20 years.
This series was a perfect overview. Mr. Yaqub has an interesting speech pattern which others have noticed can be a bit distracting. I find reviews stating that he's biased against Israel to be exaggerated and seem to be more tied to the fact that he points out criticisms of Israel along with all of the other countries involved in these conflicts over the last 100 years.

The science fiction classic that coined the term "time machine" and is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel. A must listen for any fan of science fiction!

Great story - horrible narrator

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
No - The narrator destroyed it for me. He apparently went to the William Shantner School for Nonsensical Pauses. I eventually just quit listening.
