Synopsis
A classic study of the Middle East in modern times, analyzing British failures in the region during the zenith of the empire's power and influence. Mr. Kedourie attributes much of Britain's faulty and disastrous handling of Middle East problems to what he calls "the Chatham House version," a view propagated by Toynbee and his colleagues. "No better guide...can be found to the pitfalls awaiting those who seek to control the Middle East to their own advantage."-Asian Affairs.

London Telegraph No better guide...can be found to the pitfalls awaiting those who seek to control the Middle East to their own advantage. Asian Affairs This new edition is all the more welcome because it carries an introduction by Davide Pryce-Jones. The New Criterion Landmark of historical scholarship. New York Sun ...Basic truths are worth repeating, and if they are stated in as cogent and lucid prose as Kedourie's they deserve renewed attention. The Washington Times
