Seller's Description:
Minor rubbing. Light binding corner bump. VG., dustwrapper. 24x16cm, 297 pp, Series: Library of Middle East History, vol. 1. Small tear to dustwrapper. "General Sir John Glubb was the last British pro-Consul of the region and commander of the Arab Legion during the crucial years between 1936 and 1956, which were to witness the collapse of Palestine and the final foundation and establishment of the State of Israel. As well as an analysis of Glubb' s personal vision of the Middle East and its peoples-a surprisingly racial vision that would condition his politics-this book examines his reactions to the Arab Revolt in Palestine and the periodic plans to partition Palestine and establish a Jewish state. It offers an in-depth account of his thinking and actions during 1948, as he led his small army into Palestine and war against Israel"-Publisher's description.
