Description
Gertrude Bell's Arab of Mesopotamia is a collection of confidential briefing papers that offer a unique insight into the mind of one of the most influential women of the early 20th century. Produced for British army officers new to the region, these papers reveal the ambitions and plans of those who sought to shape the Middle East. At the heart of Bell's vision was the idea of a Middle Eastern empire that would rival the Indian Empire, with ambitions stretching from Arabia to the Sudan. However, this 'mega outlook' was opposed by Arab concerns, setting the stage for some of the region's most significant events. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the machinations of those who sought to shape the future of the Middle East. Published in 2016, Gertrude Bell's Arab of Mesopotamia is a rare and valuable insight into one of history's most pivotal periods.
