Editorial Review:
Product Description:
In the first quarter of the twentieth century, the British Government, the banks, and leading individuals in London reached historic decisions that determined the name, shape, nature, and future of the region known as the Middle East. In this fascinating and readable book, Roger Adelson examines who made policy, on what grounds, with what information, and with what results.

- Easy to read. Well documented. Not too scholarly.This book shows how economic - and to some degree political - events in London at the height of the British Empire's power shaped events in the Middle East. The book is an easy read. It is not too scholarly. However, it is well documented with reference material that can be used for follow up reading on any particular item of interest. The photographs add a pleasant perspective to the history
