Rich in detail, this book gives a fascinating account of the British military campaigns in the Middle East in the Twentieth Century. After the First World War the map of the Middle East was redrawn out of the ruins of the discarded Ottoman Empire. After the defeat of Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany, the inevitable consequences of the conflicting promises the British had previously made to both the Jews and Arabs began to boil over. Arab and Jewish nationalism became unbridled and the United States entered the fray.
