Notes -
Bernard Lewis sort of fits the bill. Looks like only his post-9/11 books are available as audiobooks.
"The Middle East: A Brief History of the Last 2,000 Years" by Bernard Lewis sounds like what you're looking for but there's no audiobook and I haven't actually read it.
It's not as commonly covered because there's a lot of pressure to play down the enmity between Islam and Christiandom.
