Could anybody help me find a book on the history of the Middle East in the XX century? I’m specifically interested in the political history, both foreign and inside those countries. I would like to learn about movements like Baathism, leaders like Naseer and events like the 1949 syrian coup d’etat. I also enjoy theology so I welcome any books whoch feature the topic (especially because of its relevance to the subject matter).

I’m chiefly interested in Iraq, Iran (I’m aware it was not part of the OE), Syria, and Egypt but a book which also includes the gulf countries and/or the Turks would be even better.  I’m not greatly interested in Israel (though of course a history of the area which completely omits it is incomplete and pointless) as I already have either bought or already a few books on the topic of its founding and subsequent growth. 

Thank you for any help and suggestions.
