A Bridge of Ideas
Your 4/5 rating for Bernard Lewis's 'The Middle East' and your 3/5 for H.G. Wells's 'The War of the Worlds' reveal a potent, surprising connection: both works, across disparate genres, explore the profoundly human—and often terrifying—response to overwhelming, alien forces that dismantle established orders. Lewis details how historical interventions and external pressures have historically reshaped the Middle East, mirroring Wells's depiction of an incomprehensible Martian invasion that utterly shatters Victorian society and its perceived certainties.
