No Binding. Condition: Good. Luigi Gabbrielli (1885-?) was Italy's Consul General in Jerusalem from 1930 then Minister in Baghdad. After Iraq cut relations with Germany at the start of WW2 Gabbrielli led the Axis' anti-British propaganda efforts with the support of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Amin al Husseini. This culminated in the Axis-supported Golden Square Coup (1 April 1941) which brought Rashid Ali al Gaylani to power. In the ensuing Anglo-Iraqi War (2-31 May) the British ousted Gaylani, restoring pro-British Regent Abd al-Ila. Gabbrielli, Gaylani, and the Grand Mufti fled together to Iran. With them was Fritz Grobba, Nazi Germany's former Minister to Iraq and Saudi Arabia who had facilitated the training of anti-imperialist Iraqi officers in Germany (the four leading members of which nicknamed the "Golden Square") and transfer of German military advisors to Baghdad. 1.
