Review:

"...I promise new readers of this book that they are in for a treat." -- Sir James Craig

Synopsis:

This is the story of the author's involvement in a wide sweep of Middle Eastern history, with the Levant Consular Service, from World War I until the years following World War II. Political judgement and a sense of humour combine with a memory for anecdote and a gift for conveying the atmosphere of place to bring to life the political leaders and British officials, the peasantry and aristocracy of a world with which few Englishmen were more directly evoke than Sir Laurence Grafftey-Smith. The reader is carried through a "history without tears" of the long years in Anglo-Egyptian relations.
