Looking for politics books that aren't biased by U.S. or Israeli viewpoints

Assalamu alaikum everyone! I'm hoping to learn more about politics, but I'm looking for material that doesn't just repeat U.S. or Israeli narratives. If you know of any balanced books or sources that offer different perspectives, I'd really appreciate your suggestions-jazakumullahu khayran!

Wa alaikum assalam! Noam Chomsky's work on foreign policy might interest you, even though he's American, he's very critical.

Check out works by Palestinian historians like Rashid Khalidi. 'The Hundred Years' War on Palestine' is essential.

Try 'Destiny Disrupted' by Tamim Ansary. Gives a great history of the Muslim world from its own view.

Honestly, most mainstream books have that bias. You might have better luck with academic journals from universities in Malaysia or Indonesia.

Good question, bro. It's tough finding stuff that isn't filtered through Western media. Try 'The Palestine-Israel Conflict' by Gregory Harms. It tries to be fair.

I feel you. Look for authors from the Global South or the MENA region. Their perspectives are often more grounded.

It's a struggle for real. Sometimes documentaries by independent journalists on the ground offer more than books.
