Description
(Hundreds of officials, teachers, journalists and soldiers devoted their lives to the service of the British Empire in the Middle East. This is a delightful exploration of the personal memoirs and correspondence of a few of them. The British helped to govern a large part of the Middle East from 1882 to 1952. Their accounts are often humourous, sometimes tragic and always intensly direct and unselfconscious. This survey brings back to life that band of devoted men and women who, through their entertaining and sometimes moving observations, provide a wonderful portrait of a world that has now changed almost beyond recognition)
