  • Ancient Rome
    Hui Wang
    Ancient Rome: Europe in History, PART TWO, is the book I wish I’d had when I first tried to make sense of Rome’s long slide from republic to empire. I start with Gaius Marius - the reformer whose changes to recruitment and the structure of the legions quietly altered the balance of power in Rome - and then press on to the hard question of why the Republic broke down at all.From...

  • Ancient Rome
    Hui Wang
    Ancient Rome: Europe in History, PART ONE, is the book I wrote to tell Rome’s story from the ground up, starting with Romulus and Numa and the fragile order they tried to build. These early figures were not just legends; they shaped how Romans thought about law, religion, violence, and authority. From sacred rituals to kingship, from fear to discipline, this opening part shows ...

  • Ancient Greece
    Hui Wang
    Ancient Greece: Europe in History, PART TWO, is my attempt to tell the Greek story the way it actually felt to live it-tense, unstable, and full of agonizing choices. I open the book with two competing roads to power, Athens and Sparta, and trace how their very different ideas about freedom, discipline, and leadership pushed the Greek world toward confrontation. What begins as ...

  • Ancient Greece
    Hui Wang
    Ancient Greece: Europe in History, PART ONE, is the book I wrote to chase one question that kept bothering me: where did Europe really start to take shape? Not Europe as a modern idea, but Europe as a lived experience - a mosaic of places, practices, and habits people actually inhabited and remembered.The story opens before written records, threads through prehistory, and final...

  • Iraq and the Age of Intervention
    Hui Wang
    Iraq and the Age of Intervention: The Middle East in History, is my attempt to make sense of how a single country kept drifting from one war into the next-and why outside powers kept stepping in. I start at the Shatt al‑Arab, that contested waterway where borders, currents, and national pride conspire to make conflict almost inevitable. From there the story moves into the bitte...

  • From Shah to Revolution
    Hui Wang
    From Shah to Revolution: The Middle East in History, is my attempt to tell the modern Middle East as it actually unfolded - not as tidy abstractions, but through the messy, human forces of people, pressure, and hard choices. I start in Iraq, not Iran: with oil and power, and with the slow, relentless rise of Saddam Hussein. Moving from the chapter 'Iraq First' to 'Saddam Hussei...

  • The Making of Ba’athist Iraq
    Hui Wang
    The Making of Ba’athist Iraq: The Middle East in History, is my attempt to tell Iraq’s modern story the long way, not the shortcut readers often prefer. Before Saddam Hussein and before the Ba’ath Party took center stage, a series of agreements and regional power plays were already redefining the map - British treaties and negotiations, border settlements involving Najd and the...

  • Israel and the Arab States
    Hui Wang
    Israel and the Arab States: The Middle East in History, is the book I wrote to tell this story through people, not slogans. It begins on November 29, 1947 - the day the UN vote upended the region overnight - and follows the raw emotions that carried populations from tears into open warfare.

  • The Holocaust and the Birth of Israel
    Hui Wang
    The Holocaust and the Birth of Israel: The Middle East in History, is the book I wrote after realizing how often this history is told in fragments. We hear the names-Stanley Milgram, Auschwitz, Kristallnacht, the Wannsee Conference-but rarely do we see them arranged on the same timeline. (A note on Milgram: his famous obedience experiments were conducted in the 1960s, after the...

  • Origins of the Jewish World
    Hui Wang
    Origins of the Jewish World: The Middle East in History, opens with a journey that predates the state of Israel by millennia. I begin with figures like Gilgamesh, Noah, and the Tower of Babel because Jewish history did not spring from a vacuum but from the same deep, shared ancient world that produced those stories. From these early myths and memories the narrative moves to Abr...
