Hubert Young

Opis

Part travelogue and part memoir, this account of Major Sir Hubert Young's time spent in the Middle East in diplomatic and military roles provides a rare insider's look at political developments in that part of the world. Sympathetic with the rich Arabic heritage of Mesopotamia, Arabia, and what is now Jordan and Syria, Young writes a lucid narrative spanning the time from his first involvement up to the Iraqi Mandate.
