Kingmakers : The Invention of the Modern Middle East, Paperback / softback Book

Kingmakers : The Invention of the Modern Middle East Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Kingmakers is the gripping story of how the modern Middle East came to be, as told through the lives of the Britons and Americans who shaped it.

Some are famous (Lawrence of Arabia and Gertrude Bell); others infamous (Harry St.

John Philby, father of Kim); some forgotten (Sir Mark Sykes, Israel’s godfather, and A.

T. Wilson, the territorial creator of Iraq). All helped enthrone rulers in a region whose very name is an Anglo-American invention.

The aim of this engrossing character-driven narrative is to restore to life the colorful figures who gave us the Middle East in which Americans are enmeshed today.
