A classic study of the Middle East in modern times, analyzing British failures in the region during the zenith of the empire's power and influence. Mr. Kedourie attributes much of Britain's faulty and disastrous handling of Middle East problems to what he calls "the Chatham House version," a view propagated by Toynbee and his colleagues. "No better guide...can be found to the pitfalls awaiting those who seek to control the Middle East to their own advantage." Asian Affairs.
