Britain and the Middle East

First published in 1951, Britain and the Middle East sets forth briefly the relations which the people and the government of Britain had with the Middle East from the earliest records of such relations until 1950. The term “Middle East” used in this book includes what used to be called the Near East as well as most of the Middle East proper. It covers Turkey and Iran (Persia), Cyprus, Syria and Lebanon, Palestine and Trans-Jordan (Israel and Jordan), Iraq, Egypt, the Sudan, and the whole of the Arabian Peninsula.
