14. My husband bought The Middle East For Dummies back before the first Gulf War

Tue Apr 4, 2017, 08:39 PM

Apr 2017

As a beginning to learning about the region. He's read a lot of much more in depth books since but we still have the Dummies book on the shelf.

Maybe we should buy the newest edition and send it to Jared?

Problem is, they haven't updated it since January 2003.
