David Frum Examines the History Shaping the Middle East
In a new episode of The David Frum Show, David Frum examines the history and violence that helped shape the modern Middle East. Frum begins by revisiting ISIS’s 2014 attack on the Yazidi people before sitting down with acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of the new book The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East.
Frum and Montefiore trace the region’s transformation from the final decades of the Ottoman Empire through the emergence of modern nation-states. Their conversation examines the displacement, persecution, and violence experienced by numerous ethnic and religious communities as borders, governments, and national identities changed. The episode concludes with Frum discussing Warren Kinsella’s The Hidden Hand: The Information War and the Rise of Antisemitic Propaganda, which examines antisemitism and propaganda in the modern information environment.
As a longtime political commentator, author, and staff writer at The Atlantic, David Frum brings historical context and analysis to conversations about geopolitics, democracy, international affairs, and the forces shaping today’s world. His ability to connect history with current global challenges makes him a thought-provoking voice for audiences seeking a deeper understanding of complex political and geopolitical issues.
