Join Rebecca Fletcher and writer, publisher and television presenter, Barnaby Rogerson at The Yard Hampshire, as they discuss Barnaby's latest book, The House Divided: Sunni, Shia and the Making of the Middle East. Following narratives from the first Sunni and Shia caliphates, through the medieval caliphates and empires of the Arabs, Persians and Ottomans, to the contemporary Middle East, The House Divided shows how a complex range of identities and rivalries - religious, ethnic and national - have shaped the region, jolted by the seismic shift of the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
