Exactly as Part 1 the lectures of Part ii were lean yet fully comprehensive. I would put them in the top five of the courses I have taken on line with Coursera. Congratulations to the professor and his university.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The content is challenging but very clearly presented where both sides of an argument are put forward allowing the student to draw their own conclusions. Thank you very much.

This course was thorough and non-bias look at the modern Middle East. A great two part course to help anyone better understand what is going in the region today, and how the events transpired from WWI onward.

A FASCINATING COURSE WHICH WAS MOST ENGAGING THROUGHOUT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COURSE. IT REALLY HELPS TO PUT INTO CONTEXT THE CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT IS STILL VERY MUCH ONGOING.

This course has taught me a lot of real and honest political and historical concepts and I have a lot of misconceptions, thanks for this wonderful course and the frank presentation of Dr.

Both part 1 and 2 are great courses and can be recommended, to anyone who wishes for a deeper understanding of the underlying events that have led to the Middle East we see today.

Amazing course. For all the people passionate about History and the Middle East this course is a must.

Prof. Asher Susser is a great teacher. Thank you Prof. Susser.

Comprehensive, and easy to follow, history of the Middle East, following both geopolitics and chronology of events. An excellent continuation of the first course.

Professor Asher Susser is wonderful!

It is amazing to have the opportunity to study such high quality classes.

Thank you very much and best wishes from Brazil! :)

An excellent course for getting an understanding of what's happening in the Middle East today. It's a very balanced an comprehensive treatment of the subject.

It would be much informative if the lectures are in chronogical order (year wise) instead of region (country wise). I think there should be Part III as well.

This was a brilliant course that has given me, for the first time, an understanding of the history of and issues in the Middle East. I highly recommend it.

I learnt a lot about the root of the conflicts in Middle East and I can now understand why there are still issues in that part of the world. Great course.

<3 I'm very very very recommended this course, he teach you the history in a juice. This man is amazing someone and very useful. God bless you <3

Thanks for this enlightening course! I understand much better than before what has been going on for two centuries in the middle east.

This course continues with where part one ended and is full of historical facts and conclusions. Very interesting and a great course.

A complete and thorough journey from the Ottoman Empire to the Arab Spring with significant emphasis on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Excellent overview, well presented. Greatly increased by understanding of the all the dynamics at work in the Middle East.

Informative, interesting, intense, well presented. Should be required for all diplomatic personnel deploying to Mid-east.

Excellent course delivery. Both the lectures as well as the pdf transcript were of great quality. Thanks to Prof. Asher.

Thank you for this overview of the history of the Middle-East. It makes the current situation there clearer

Knowledgeable professor showing a systematic and comprehensive picture of the Middle Eastern landscape.

This was a great class. The professor had so much knowledge and he made it easy to follow along

I enjoyed this course and found it to be very informative and relevant. Definitely recommended.

Extremely good course, with the ability to impart an abundance of information in a short format.
