MultiView World Geopolitics Series

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. "Iran re-seals the Strait of Hormuz." "Gaza ceasefire talks stall." "Israel strikes Lebanon." The Middle East headlines that arrive daily can feel fragmented and bewildering — but none of them began from nothing.

This is Volume 2 of MultiView World's Geopolitics Series. Where Volume 1 mapped the region through the lens of oil, gas, and sea lanes, this book traces the conflict history that explains why wars keep repeating: the "straight-line borders" drawn by Britain and France in the Sykes–Picot Agreement, the contradictory promises of the Balfour Declaration, the founding of Israel, the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran, the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War, the Oslo Accords and the Intifadas, the War on Terror, the Arab Spring, the Syrian civil war, the Gaza War since 2023, and the 2026 Iran War.

MultiView World holds to a single principle: rather than declaring one side "right" and the other "wrong," we place each side's reasoning side by side — the history as seen from Britain, from Palestine, and from Iran — to understand why they acted as they did. Across ten chapters and one hundred years, this book builds a MultiView picture of a region whose headlines the world cannot look away from.
