I know some history, but not all. I recently bought two books about the history of Israel. One is "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Middle East Conflict".
On a more serious note, I also bought "Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East", by Michael B. Oren.
I also bout 5 Noam Chomsky books recently.
There are also many other Jewish history and religious books in my library. Like "Night", by Elie Wiesel. It is an signed copy I bought here in Houston's Holocaust Museum. Gee, I have so many books! Too many to list here. Jewish history is part of our Christian history.
