THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

THE MIDDLE EAST IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR

I was pleasantly surprised at how thoroughly and objectively the war years were covered in the video.  The last 10-15 minutes (when it deals with more recent history) get a little sketchy in my opinion but I leave it up to the viewer to decide.  It's nearly two hours long but if you appreciate history and want to have a better understanding of the region and how the history drives current events then I highly recommend setting aside the time to watch it!
