About this Event
Few understand the real history of the Middle East – its variety, cosmopolitanism, and interconnectedness. The Cauldron, by best-selling historian Simon Sebag Montefiore, takes the reader on a spectacular journey from the Ottoman sultanate to the Trump presidency, from Morocco to Iran -- a panorama brought to life by an extraordinary cast of kings, warriors, poets, terrorists, and peacemakers.
A master storyteller, Montefiore reveals the origins of the world we live in. “Vivid and monumental . . . could not [be] more essential” – Sunday Times.
Montefiore will appear in conversation with Tom Reiss, author of The Orientalist, The Black Count, and coming this spring, We Will Never Die, about the greatest rescue effort of World War II.
