Intro to Modern Middle East

[sirjake]

OK, thanks. It's actually a very interesting subject; I've really enjoyed studying for it. I've never really had a good grasp of why Israel and Palestine always seem to be fighting, what the heck we're doing over there and how we got involved in the first place, etc. It's worth looking at (which makes it easier for me to study it). Honestly, to me, this subject has been much more interesting to study than some of the other CLEPs that I've easily passed. But of course, I love history, so that probably helps.

I'll let you know how I do. I'm taking it next Tuesday. Studying IC, Wikipedia, and a couple of library books: "Everything Middle East" and a teen book, "Facts and Figures about the Middle East," that I read over quickly to give me the big points to get oriented to the subject.
