Land Between the Rivers by Bartle Bull

History of Iraq is different from what it is today which makes one wonder how it ended up here from being so amazing in the past. But that is the thing about the past.

Reading this book was a primer before one can understand anything about how the civilisations evolve and how this particular one contributed to science, literature, music, art and everything else that summarises any civilisation.

The historical part of the book is very informative however the later part which is more dedicated to the political scenarios from the post modern world is not the best. But this is a good point to start and explore if this topic gets any reader interested in this subject.

History always looks beautiful. It is not something to be proud of but something to be cherished. But beware of someone who promises to bring you back to the history because they might do it.

Peace
