Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition of the book (1993) with handwritten letter laid in. Original gilt titled brown cloth in illustrated dust jacket 16 x 24cm. xiv + 289pp. Jacket very good, partially faded and creased to top edge; covers near fine bumped to spine ends; interiors mostly fine with some handling marks and previous owner's name to ffep (James Craig 1993). The two kings in question are Hussein of the Hejaz, and Abdulaziz Ibn Saud. The letters and reports, edited by EC Hodgkin with a Foreword by Sir Michael Weir, are addressed to the likes of Laurence Oliphant, Storrs, the Athlones, and the Foreign Office, dating to Bullard's terms in Jeddah as Consul (1923-25) and Minister (1936-39). Sir James Craig (1924-2017) was British Ambassador to Syria (1976-79) and Saudi Arabia (1979-84), visiting Professor in Arabic at Oxford, and Director General and President of the Middle East Association (1985-2011). The letter, 1pp handwritten and dated Croydon 30.8.93, reads: "Dear James - Many thanks for lending me this. I enjoyed it but shared your unease about some of the first part. (I also thought it might have been edited with more care - for example, the telegrams between p.77 and 90 were out of sequence with the reports and letters). Ro and I are just off to Crete for a couple of weeks - hurrah! - but look forward to seeing you again before too long. Yours Norman". Norman is probably the Arabist Norman Lewis (c 1919-2010) and Ro his wife Rosemary. Craig and Lewis were instructors at the Foreign Office's Middle East Centre for Arab Studies at Shemlan near Beirut in the 1950s.…
