Empire of Sand - How Britain Made the Middle East

Informationen zum Autor Walter Reid studied at the universities of Oxford and Edinburgh, and has written a number of highly acclaimed works of military and political history: Architect of Victory: Douglas Haig (2006), Churchill 1940 - 1945: Under Friendly Fire (2008) and Arras, 1917 (new edition 2011). Zusammenfassung Now in paperback, this is the first major assessment of Britain's role in creating the instability that still reigns in the middle-east. Using primary and secondary sources, Reid charts the lines in the sand that mark the uncertain beginnings of the region, the discovery of oil and the political wrangling that would forever tear the region apart.
