In this gripping narrative, the author brings to life the 1st World War in the Middle East: the aggressive and often underhanded diplomacy of the British and French; the unspoken interest of American oil companies; the privations and threats of harsh Turkish policies toward the minorities; and - still with us today - the fervent national, political, and social aspirations of the Arabs and Zionists. The extraordinary careers and dedicated visions of two brilliant and driven men are pathways through the tangled history of those decisive years that gave birth to the modern Middle East.
