Thanks for the link, Rockstar. I look forward to reading the PDF...

If some of you don't want to slog through the whole document, a very good, short, and very well-described history of the roots of what we know as the modern Middle-East can be found in a couple of chapters of the excellent T. E. Lawrence biography by Michael Korda, "Hero". Korda manages to make many of the convoluted tribal and political machinations post-WWI more understandable and gives context to what we have today. Highly recommended...
